Weekend Two of Home Project

This weekend was filled with knocking down the drywall and slats. Many many messes and a lot of dust! It is interesting to see the guts of a house, never have before to this degree, but I can tell the house was made to be pretty solid. And that it was built a long time ago, just from seeing the "two by fours" that were inside the walls. They were "logs" clearly that were quartered, the bark is still on them and the nails used were not the type you see today. So, let me get to the point, PICTURES! What you really came for, eh?

Here is one of the rooms victim to our demo. Drywall gone.

Same thing here, different room. The white decorative around the windows will have to stay due to the possibility of it not coming back together well. So I will remove the paint with it as is.

Now this part is interesting. Notice the pic is showing two doorways? There is a little cove between them on the left side, and a chimney to the right.

Here is the little cove, if you will. The chimney is behind the person taking the pic, and past owner must have left this portion open to keep the two rooms on either side the same size. Make sense? The walls on either side of this are now drywall free as well.

And now a couple of random pics. A couple of the drive near the house:

Heading toward the Village. Not too far from the house.

The Village. It is old as you can see.

Driving up to the house. The neighborhood is pretty quiet.
 

And there you have it. Next weekend there will be more work, but I will not be there, nothing new anyway. Same thing. Then a wall will be moved over, electricity updated, and walls re-sheeted/insulated. That will be in 2-3 weeks from now.
