the rains stop (for a moment).

another rotten beam

Rain is forecast for the entire week, but at the moment there is a bit of sun.  Rain is expected this afternoon but right now George and Johnny are continuing to work on that oh so rotting floor.

The beams have been destroyed by leaks, though there is also evidence of insect damage.  The insects do seem to have left the building, so we don't have to worry about getting rid of them, but the floor does have to be shored up before we continue.  This beam is under the hall, near the staircase.  The beams under the dining room and alongside the windows have been dealt with and that part of the house is now just about ready to be wrapped in its gray plastic siding.

Oh so many things to get done:  plans for bathrooms and kitchen--some kind of scheduling, clean up the mounting piles of debris in back and front of house,  gutter on porch--might have to get driveway fixed before truck can drive in carrying 40 foot long pipe...and that's just a bit of it...
