Last night, Brent worked for more than four (4) hours but he was able to complete all the items on his list for the week. The dining room, kitchen, keeping room, pantry, laundry room and bathroom all have been completed with insulation and subflooring in place. There are a couple of spots in the room that require the hvac contractor to hang the vents.Tonight, Brent will clean-up, organize and start installing the chicken wire for the insulation in the library.
The contractor has started work on repairing the fireplaces. First, he is installing two (2) piers outside where the extension of the pantry hangs out from the original footprint.
The cement siding has been ordered and should be delivered within two (2) weeks. Our contractor neighbors will be installing the siding for the back side of the house.
If you have never experienced it, you do not have the appreciation and feeling of accomplishment for having the subflooring down. We are now able to walk around over half the down stairs without trying to balance on floor joists. The floor is very level and little or no height difference when you transition from one room to another where a wall once stood.
The house has taken a few breaths and is starting to come back to life. We just hope it is not the old lady that locals say appears in the upstairs dormer window.
