Remodeling Continued......

After a much needed break to National FFA Convention in October, the remodeling continued.
November 2 - Put up plywood wall across the front porch to close in the addition which is a 10 ft by 50 ft area. Took down ceiling tile.





















November 6 - It was election day and Acadia had no school so we worked on putting up walls on the north side of the house. Took down ceiling tile.

November 10 and 11 - We rented a man lift and finished walling in the north and south side of the house. Also pulled out 90% of the old insulation in the attic. (Blue section of house is the original house with the roof removed.)

November 16 - Put in front windows and one window on the south side addition. Put up porch beams to tie house to porch. Took down ceiling tile.
November 17 - Todd put in our new front door made out of old cypress. Began putting hardy plank on the front.
November 19 - Nate and Slade helped David put in a beam under the house to support the new middle of the house which now sits at 17 ft instead of 12 ft. Took down more ceiling tile.
November 20 - Put up interior beam and two old columns to support the beam. The columns are from the porch of a house from the late 1800's. Put up more hardy plank on the front.
November 21- Chad helped David tear out the original front wall of the house and the old ceiling in the front part of the house and we put up hardy plank to the beams on the front porch and put hardy plank on 3/4 of the north wall. 


 

November 22 - Took a break for Thanksgiving....thank goodness!!!
November 23 - Moved a window on the south side wall to the new center. Put hardy plank 3/4 of the way up the south wall. Hauled a full stock trailer of demolition scraps and trash to the landfill.

November 24 - Up and at the house at 7:30 on a cold, windy, Saturday......We must be crazy!!! Planked within 5 ft on the north wall peak. Todd started framing in the new back door which is also made of old cypress.



















November 25 - Finished planking the north wall and put additional bracing up on the south wall to get it ready to be planked.
