360 Degrees of Siding!!!!

That’s right folks! The house is SIDED! Woohooo!!!

Tyler began siding at the end of November 2014 and is officially done today, June 24, 2015!

Building a Wall

A new wall between the kitchen and the addition (where the main floor bathroom will be located) needed to be rebuilt. The previous wall was not quite up to par, the wall from the 1900 build.

South Wall Siding

There is not much more to say, then here is the photo coverage of siding the south wall.

Shingles!!!!

We have shingles! All the new shingles on the roof! Hooray!

Patching the Floor

The patchwork on part of the kitchen floor that needed to be done when the boards needed to be removed to help with the new beam for that part of the floor. Also, there has been been a hole in this part of the floor from duct work or plumbing or something, so we just needed it done more nicely.

Time to Work on those Floors!

If you recall (from awhile back) I had posted a list of things that needed to be accomplished this summer at the house before we could even think of moving in. One of those things including straightening out the floors. The basement beams had allowed the house to sink a little (not a surprise or huge worry after 115 years of life). The whole main floor pitched down to the basement stairs. While not everything with the floors in the original house (main floor) will able to be perfectly leveled or squared, the goal is to NOT feel like you’re walking downhill.

Part of the Stairs and what…plaster?

It’s been some tough days for asthma around here. From the dumb oats in the field across the way to some more plaster (what…huh?) coming down, the Pedersen lungs are trying very hard to keep up. Luckily, we have lots of steroids between the two of us. 😉
