Yea, The top 4-5 bricks need atention. I'll do that myself but need proper scaffolding. I'll probably make a form on the ground, mount it on the roof, pour a cap with some rebar for reinforcement, remove the form. Oh yea, can't forget the oil to keep the cap clean of wood when removing the form.

Looking good!
It's looking good Lenny! I like the woodwork and the older windows. Should be really nice when you're done. What a view from the top of the house.
Sorry we missed you Friday, we stopped by there about 2:30 local time. It looks like we missed a heck of a bonfire! It was good to see you again on Saturday and Steve and I hope to ride with you this winter. Take care!

Mark, you and Steve are a blast to hang out with. I feel like we've known each other all long time, same with John. It was a good time and look forward to riding, lets make a point to see that it happens! This web site has just been a huge blessing with all the friends I have been making. Honestly, what would life be like without friends?

Holy
, that is a lot of work just humping the bundles up a two story ladder. I sure hope you were not using one of those 250# ladders that feel like a rope swing when you add a little weight.Nice progress so far. Should have the exterior buttoned up before the first N-Easter rolls into town.

still going at it with da old place. This week we finished the porch roof, pressure washed every square inch of the basement, ceiling, joists, I mean everything. The lumber looks like new again. The basement has a floor drain and it work great. There was a little mold on the basement stairs at the base next to the floor and it came right off. I have 7 permanent light fixtures down there and it nice and bright. The basement took about 2 days to get as clean as we got it. I have been working on the windows with my wife. We had 24 pieces if broken glass in the house. Removing glazing and replacing glass isn't so bad but scraping and prepping the window for paint is time consuming. I have about half of the upstairs finished and should have them all done by the end of this next week. I picked up my douglas fir flooring for the porch and will install it soon. Oh yea, we removed some walls downstairs and also will remove some load bearing walls. I ordered the LVL beams and they came in yesterday so that is the big project for this upcoming week. Should be about 2 day project. After this header install we're ready to start rebuilding the inside but still need to do a ton of work outside. It's coming along good and I believe I should be able to get in it before winter.

I love those basement walls and the wood looks great! That's back when they made some quality lumber. Keep updating us. Hopefully rp7x and I will be parked in your front yard again this winter, but on snowmobiles this time!

installed the d.fir T&G floor on da front porch today, going back now till dark to continue repairing window glass. Planing to repair siding on dormers where the flashing is, install lvl beams and wrap up other misc projects before we start anything new. Will install bead board on porch ceiling soon.

looking good Lenny, thanks for sharing..........none of my damb business, nor am I trying to get to personal, but do you have a traditional job (m-f, 7-3)? The only reason I ask is your taking on a huge project and to do that untop of a traditional job would be unbelievable....ether way its a huge project, nice to see the family is helping. I personally think it's good to get the kids involved, it shows them things are not just handed to them in life.
nice job/keep up the great work........don't answer my question if it's to personal!
