I Need a Dump Trailer

We tore out the kitchen ceiling removing the sheetrock and the poplar T & G underneath. I have never seen so much dust and dirt in a kitchen before. I had to cut out part of the dining area as well so I can install 2 LVL headers to maintain my 9' spans. When I cut into the dining ceiling, I exposed a section above the joists where the original house roof was. When I pulled down the insulation, I got a mouth full of old asphalt chips. I have tomorrow and Monday off so I should be able to get a lot of work done.

2nd Floor

Finally got to start putting in new floor joists above the bedroom. I cut out the old ceiling joists and the rest of the poplar T & G. I had to stick the ends of the new joists out of the existing roof line and ended up in a rain storm trying to patch the holes. I have to level the top plate in the center of the house somehow but the exterior wall plate was pretty level. I will end up using the high spot in this room as a reference for the rest of the house.
