The floor comes up and the chimney comes down

Lisa is here with us this week- helping with the next phase of deconstruction.  Today she pulled the nails on all the floor boards  and removed the wall board in part of the constuction zone.

So now you can see down to the ground under the house.

And the old root cellar is exposed

One more thing- take out the stove pipe from the woodstove (see the round hole in the wall)

On the outside- demolish the cinderblock chimney.  Whew- what a lot of work today.  (Lisa also removed most of the nails from the metal roofing- in hopes that the weather will dry out soon so they can replace the roof!)
