The Damage Is Done

Well, at least the damage has been repaired. The guys have the back of the house reassembled. See the first photo.
I also told you I would fill you in on one thing we didn’t plan on.
The middle photo shows the second outside wall. It ended up needing to be removed and replaced. We thought it would be ok in the beginning but when we got into it the wall was just too far gone.
So now the house has three outside walls and the rear 10 feet completely rebuilt. Now they have started on the siding.
I guess it’s time to start working on the interior layout. We have some ideas and are going to try to keep it as historical as possible while giving it some modern conveniences. Stay tuned.

Rear of the house framed out.

The other exterior wall replaced. There was a lot of water and termite damage.

Siding going on. We’ll be able to lock it up pretty soon.
