Maintaining Minimal

New 8' wide, 7' high window.

Here are a few more pictures and a quick update on house progress.

As I'm working at camp now, I haven't had a lot of time to be doing the work on the house myself. Luckily, I found an awesome contractor who is also working on my neighbours' house. I'd love to be doing it all myself, but the reality is he can do what would take me a week in a day.

The most recent work has been taking off all the siding on the front part of the house and re-studding the house. The studs were at random distances from each other, usually around every 3 feet instead of every 16 inches. While this was being fixed, we also reframed some windows (very exciting).

Unfortunately while doing this work it came to our attention just how bad the foundation is. Looks like it won't last a lifetime (surprise, surprise). For now, we'll keep insulating (grant money), redo the roof with tin (can be reused) and eventually this fall have a closed in living space.

Even though it may not turn in to a permanent dream home this year, I still love the house and get more and more excited every time I go up there!
