The front of the house is essentially done! All there is left to do is the front steps which we will do in the Spring and the lights on the front of the house which we have and will be installed when Ed starts working with the electrical work. Now, phase 2! The front rooms are all emptied and the chimney is gone which actually went pretty uneventfully. Christmas day activities included utilizing Alex and Jeff to move the piano into the kitchen. (Anyone interested in a beautiful antique upright piano for a very reasonable price?) The past two weeks have been mainly about shoring up the ceilings, repairing beams and putting in new posts to even out the floors upstairs. It is amazing how the floors are almost even upstairs. Next order of business is framing the front two rooms, sheetrock, builiding the stairs, and repairing the wood floor. Can't wait to move the dining room table and hutch back in the dining room!
