Also my parents bought 6 doors that were delivered last week for a 3 season porch they want to put on the back deck. Guess I know what I will be doing come spring.


And took one of my tractors out of their garage so they could have their garage back for the winter. Still got a lot of stuff to move to one of my barns before my mom gives it away, lol.

Thanks! I will have an update on the farm house later this week. Finally getting my buddy to come over tomorrow to hep me with the ceiling joists.

Spreading some lime...



Here's a few pics of the wall. Will look a lot nicer come summer and its actually full of flowers/plants. Still got to finish the bottom terrace.

Disking in the lime.




Got all of the old insulation out in the living room today. What a mess that was. Sorry the pics are bad, it was getting dark so I turned the flash on. I am no camera expert.

I wanted to compliment you on your photos. Good photos make reading about a project so much more enjoyable.

Thanks! They aren't the best pics, but I love seeing other peoples projects so I try to take as many pics as I can to show too!

Well these pics were from around noon today, didn't get a chance to take any pics tonight so some stuff might now be done in the pics.

Got all the joists up and what a fun time it was. They are all nailed to the ends of the original joists. The original joists were bowing like crazy. Put my relief cuts in the old joists so the new ones can bring them back to level. There was a closest on the second story that wasn't allowing me to get the new joists level as the second story floor was sinking around the closest area. So I had to remove the closets on the second floor to let the floor come up to level. I was going to remove them anyway as I am going to add a bath/closest in the small room (the room that's at the far end of the pics) The door to the small room will be about where it was now, but it will lead to a bath and then a walk in closest will be on the other side of it (splitting the small room in half to make it a bath and closest).

Have all the headers up, they just weren't in the pics. Still have to put the 2x4's in the wall under the new joists.




The second floor (to the right of the pic is the stairway going downstairs) This is all above the two rooms I am working on on the main floor.



Getting there.



And most of it down.

You should start a blog about the project. With your photos and your good way of explaining, I'm sure it would be very successful.
