Finishing Touches Last Weekend


Hey folks!

Friday and Saturday last we finished up the un-insulated sub floors (in the existing bathroom and porch areas), removed most of the rest of the heart pine and painstakingly removed 120 year old nails (so we can reuse it on the first floor!), got the beam all squared away to be hung and "nailed down" any remaining design decisions before the framing guys would come on Monday.  It was quite an exciting day on Saturday, with mom and dad both present, making it a truly a family affair.

Remaining bit of flooring to complete:


Nailing and glueing away...


Received a shipment of lumber:


Gabe would remove the heart pine flooring from the second floor...



and Mom & I would remove the nails.  It was quite the system!


Dad prepared the I-beam:


No more second floor flooring!




Pretty soon the wall in front and to the left in the following photo will be gone and it won't be so dark!!!
But enough of that boring stuff----let's see some real action :)

Demo/Framing/Build Week to come!!
