Yesterday our Georgia son Rich and his wife Donna came for a visit. We spent the day together. Took a tour of the town. Ate at the Chinese restaurant. It was a very good day.
Below are pictures of Nina Grace who is Rich and Donna's granddaughter and the light of their life. I snipped these from Facebook.
And here are house pictures. There has been progress since these were taken. I am a little behind. These pictures show all the bagged sacks of loose insulation. They are all gone now plus further progress on the walls and ceiling.
Butch had a conference with Russ Cosens a local contractor and longtime friend. Now that we have the bones of the house exposed we wanted to know form an expert, and we consider Russ an expert, what we could safely remove and what may need reinforcement etc. We were very pleased with what he told us. He pretty much told us it was safe to do most anything we wanted to do. Butch does plan to reinforce the roof in the living room/ kitchen area but the remainder of the house is firmly supported and needs no further bracing. We are good to go!
So now I need to get dressed and on with the remainder of what looks like a beautiful day.
