Sweet Gutted Spring

Looking toward the front of the house
 Spring has arrived. It is wonderful to work here again. A bit overwhelming with the mess. When I look back to where this house was last year, whatever doubts arise are quickly vanquished. The three layers of flooring in the main section were removed last fall. We plan to reuse the original ash floor in the kitchen. I finally got the inside stone wall up to height and thus was able to gut the kitchen section. I reused the green treated 2x10s from the terrible 90s plywood addition. The staircase is roughed out. It is next on my list. The goal is to get the electricity hooked up and run, heating system in, insulation sprayed, and house buttoned up so I will be able to work in it this winter. A tall order to fill. The rock is being pushed ever nearer the peak.
