Rock 'N Roll


There were huge rocks that were dug out of the foundation.


Ken had the excavator place them around the island and


in the front back and side of the house.

Firm Foundation


Pouring the footings for the garage.
Thanks to Jason Lea and crew.


A Real "Pane" in the Glass


Ken knocked out the glass block in the bathroom.



Breaking the glass was actually kind of fun.


We took out both the top and bottom logs to make the
living and dining room windows bigger. A room with a view.

I "Chink" Therefore I Am


Caity and Chris had to remove all the chinking (filler between the logs) from the house, inside


and out.


Then all the nails, about  4" apart, had to be removed

Kitchen Duty: A Real Mess Hall

Before



We tore out the ceiling and bagged up loads of old insulation.


...tore out the cupboards...


...and floor


A real floor to ceiling makeover.

Good Bye Mudroom a.k.a. Home of the Rock Chuck


The "mudroom" was the first thing on the house to go.



The fur hat hanging on the wall, along with the mousy, woodchucky 
smell made me jumpy and skittish.
