Here's what I undid today...

Ants and rot make me unhappy. I was really hoping this cornerpost was still solid... damn previous owners...

I ran out of jeeps to sell today

 

[kastein]

I have a rather high cathedral ceiling in the living room now



Once I rebuild sections of two foundation walls and replace ~20 feet of sill plate plus an exterior weight bearing wall, I can put the new floor joists in and sheetrock the remaining bedroom.

 

[Hammered]

damn that looks alot like work, ALOT of work... Very cool project. how old is the home?

Is this a flipper or a keeper?

 

[kastein]

Built sometime in the 1890s... it is a keeper, at least till I get bored with it a few years after finishing it. At that point I'll probably buy a billion acres in central New Hampshire and build a house myself from scratch up there.

It is a ton of work, especially since I am doing it essentially alone, it's fun and I consider it practice for when I actually build a house myself properly instead of spending way too long fixing a century worth of previous owner's ****ups.

 

[Rock2pus]

I think its awesome. Im especially intrigued as to what a shifter and boot are doing on the second floor.

 

[Hammered]

Its a mobilhome

 

[MrShaft696]

i would be in 4th or 5th gear if I was doing all that work

 

[Hammered]

I'd likely be in reverse

 

[kastein]

Presently in reverse, but I've nearly finished tearing things out, at which point I'm about to put it in 5th and lug the shit out of it.

I'm so sorry
