I have been waiting for this day for years it seems. The chimney has finally been laid so we are a wood stove away from Florida in the winter time. I am going to absolutely heat the wife out of here this winter for putting up with the arctic for the last two years. This old house is starting to take a little shape...finally.
I only have to be left alone for a short time and destruction is guaranteed to happen. I really tried this time to cut the front porch roof loose only to slip the new plywood behind it but after a sudden 6 inch drop it was time to call in the machinery. I hopped on the John Deere and went ahead and pushed it over...oh well. Now the house has quite the exposed feel. Amy and Maranda worked on the latest batch of apple butter and Mom, Dad, Wade and I did some demo, put on the new sheathing, and loaded the trailer for a trip to the dump. Kailyn and Brianna played in the dirt. One thing you must remember in a project like this..it is always important to pause for a little air guitar (see if you can spot it)
