Must feel great about getting that muck out….
You have no idea how liberating it is. Despite being bare it feels like a house again, and the future looks brighter.
Digging for the new drainage starts on Monday too and next week we hope to sign a contract with a builder so the can get started realigning the floors.

Cool…...How many ovens?
Two, one with steam [emoji1] i’ve also wangled a full length fridge, separate freezer and a vertically split combo fridge freezer in the cellar. So that is two wins.
We mostly argued about the colours for the cupboard doors and bench tops. She was wrong but got her way there. Don’t know why she is so invested in it, it isn’t like she will be allowed in there anyway [emoji6]

morning. Tejas time. just getting up to date on some reading. I applaud your efforts. after building 3 houses (err project managing the builds) and the time they took + work, yers seems daunting. following tho cause i love watching rebuilds.
a friend in Houston just finished a rebuild of a 50’s ranch right on the bayou. had been marked as a historical structure and before he purchased so regs and historical overseers were a HUGE PITA for him. result was spectacular tho. i contributed by finding a and gifting them 50’s 8’ star mirror. will be nice till the next flood…:|

Cheers @mikebarhoot . It has been quite a fall season.
Officially finished the demo job today… just in time for xmas. This is taken from the floor of my cellar looking all the way up to the inside of the roof. 80 year wooden old framing and walls and not a hint of damp or rot. And this in a part of the world where wind and rain is regularly biblical in its proportions.

Get her to call me for advice….
It is an absolute pleasure to be the one responsible for the practical side of things and removed from the finances… The choice of decor is the only contentious area and I'm trying to stay out of that too....
I should mention that the beams directly above my head (4x10" ??? )will support our dining room, and the set of beams above that will be the floor of the love cave...

Yeah… we’re now planning a separate entrance to their dungeon. And major sound-proofing... probably still have to suffer the odour of teenage feet emanating upwards. How do they manage to get all the cleaning product and deodorant on the places where the short and curlies grow, and none of it where it matters?

@neph93 i believe this project, at completion, deserves to be capped off with a self gift of epic proportions. Iron Heart of course!
What will it be…?
