Signed the Contract!

09/26/2010 This morning begins our journey. We signed the contract and handed over a check for the initial purchases. Ed will be back this week to measure and order the windows and take some measurements. We have decided to go with wooden windows to preserve the look of our house that was built in 1800. With painting, windows should last 200 years - well past our stay!

10/25/10 The Project Begins!

Ed removed the shingles and found rotted sill and post as we had suspected.

Making a support and putting in a new sill is the first thing to be done.

Here is a close-up of the condition of the existing sill.

Ed has inserted the new sill which was amazing.  Can also see the rotten post that is next to the sill.

Removing siding reveals that the rotten part of the beam goes up to the second floor right under Emily and Chelsea's room.

Side View of work. Needed to pour new foundation in the front of the house which was something that was not planned for but definitely needed.
