Plaster... lots of it.

Heres one of the many piles of plaster the demo crews have taken out... This is at the front door.

Third Floor looking toward rear

This floor will be a bedroom where I'm standing, bathroom in front of me, mechanical room (HVAC and water heater), and loft area with a small fridge and sink in corner cabinets

Second Floor looking toward rear

Area for master bath, laundry room, linen closet, and office with windows.

Second Floor looking toward front

Master Bedroom will be in the front of the home... morning light will directly hit our bed. Love it !!!

Second Floor

This is the second floor rear of the home. Badly collapsed due to water damage.. All the joist in this area, and probably 75% of the joists in the whole house will be replaced.

History

Here's a little love artwork from 1984, under our stairs on the first floor.

Third Floor

View of the third floor looking toward the front of the home.

Tree roots

Here are some roots of a tree growing in the second floor window sill.

First floor

Here is our first floor looking through the kitchen window... or gaping hole in the wall..

Survey

Beth, Carter, and Remington survey the progress of one day of demo crew...

This is our master bedroom.

Original front steps

This house is just down the block from us and is the only house on the even side of the block with the original slate stairs.. very nice, very heavy !! We aren't sure what we'll do for steps yet...

Front retaining wall

Here's the front retaining wall of the home next to us. They also did the historic tax credit. So we'll want to do the same and make it look continuous across the front.
