That will be done after we have replaced the old dark paneling with light pine wood.
Yesterday and today we took down the bricks that covered a section of the west wall. It was where the previous owner had a wood stove when he first owned the house.
What he told us. He had a chimney fire and converted over to LP because the Fire Department is all volunteer and slow to respond.
We found that he had bricked over the fire damage. And while it was a bit concerning to see it, no structural damage had occurred.
This chimney fire occurred about 30 years ago and the previous owner died about 12 years ago.
The weather cooperated and it was cool enough to have windows open and a fan in one to suck out the dust.
And here are a few views of the outside of the rest of the house, I believe Lori Skoog wanted to see what it looked like.
So I remembered to take them for you Lori!
North Side Entrance and bedroom.
We have some serious landscaping and grading to do yet!
East side of the house and the pile of bricks we were removing.
Part 2 of the Little House Remodel is ongoing. The exterior and addition portions are done and it looks fantastic.
You have come a long way! Thanks for showing me the pictures of all that work. Now, you'll have to find something interesting to do with all those bricks!
ReplyDeleteThose bricks will be used to help stop erosion in one of our pastures. Bricks, dirt, grass seed,...hopefully will slow down the run off in big rainfalls!
