WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)
-
So impressive! Unreal Adam

for some reason i thought you are at the beginning of building it, sry…and i really hope my questions didn´t offend you in any kinda way, cuz they really shouldn´t!
it´s just that working with that much wood is nothing we (germans that is) are used to, when building/renovating a home! in germany almost 90% of the houses are build with brick walls...that´s why i´ve asked! -
… feels like that would have been easier at this point
i can feel you on this one…i live in an almost 200year old farmhouse and if i would be the one to decide, i´d tear that thing down to the ground and start allover again, instead of fixing every god damn thing of it! it really is a pain in the ass sometimes...

no offense taken, understand the pic looks like starting from zero… feels like that would have been easier at this point
I hear you there. I've got my work cut out for me as well. Ultimately, it probably would have been less expensive to start from scratch but I would've had to jump through even more hoops to meet code. Besides, I would hate to take too much away from the character of the house. The house is 74 years old, I'm the second owner (the guy who built it was a dam builder who lived in the house until he was 95) and everything on the interior and exterior is wood. I've been slowly dismantling everything trying to reclaim as much wood as possible to be reused during the renovation. I'm hoping to have everything done by the end of the year which is realistic barring any major issues.

These are some renderings of what it should (hopefully) look like when it's finished:
