uncovering things

tuesday

the interior is moving along. the rotten corner is now fully unrotten. it has been restructured and supported is now good to go!  we have finished all the cross ties which will be exposed in our newly vaulted ceiling.  we are now laying the new ceiling joists in the dining room and living room.  the ceilings in these rooms will be brought up about a foot or so... to be approximately 10 feet!

 as we are uncovering things, we are starting to realize some new issues we have to address!
no header!
luckily this is not a load bearing wall.

foyer window
nine foot window...once again, no header.  

looks like these windows are going to have to take out these windows and build a header. 

this is a load bearing wall.
