                  crossing fingers that everything is going to work out great mate!…

                  can´t believe that i can´t see a single brick wall though!? is that common in the US, that the biggest part of the house is built out of wood?...

                          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!

                              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...

                                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.

                                Downstairs:

                                Upstairs (all flooring has been pulled up and de-nailed):

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

                                  Clint, I love the renderings and your emphasis on using the reclaimed wood.  Please keep this thread updated with pics as the transformation unfolds, and best of luck on meeting your goal.

                                  Best of luck to you as well, jacoavlu.

                                      Ha!  I'm pretty sure you'll win.  Everything seems to be holding me up right now.  The city code enforcement has a 2+ month backlog so it will be a while before I can even get permits.  At least I will have time to finish out the demo/dismantling work.  After that, we're looking at 4-6 months of construction.

                                      What do you have in the works?  Total renovation/remodel as well?

                                          yes ours is a total reno, to the point of tearing off the small 2nd story to raise the ceilings and open the floorplan

                                          out here in red state country we don't tend to have too many code issues

                                          I'd be ecstatic if we were done in 6 months… but we've owned it going on a year now already

                                            I just hit the 4 year mark in mine last month.  I had roommates the first three years and I just got my sister and her boyfriend out last year.  Housing in Austin is very hard to come by so any time I had a room open up, I had people coming out of the woodworks wanting to move in.  I wish I would've learned to say no a long time ago.  I had to learn that lesson the hard way.
