This is WORK!

I just spent the better part of 3 hours setting up this blog ...... thing! (smile)
I have a few more sites to add on and then it's just rattle on about what ever wanders my way and I fall over.
I have some pics here of parts of the remodel. Still trying to catch-up. Also a few pics of some of the knitting I've been doing. And a few flowers....maybe a bug or two. (wink)

This is the new fireplace. Dad had to cut the long table in half. We routed the chimney through the shop and up into the  camping closet in the parlor.  David also cut out part of the carpet and cemented down tile to rest the fireplace on. The chimney is 92% efficient and produces a lot of heat. Looks real pretty when it burns too.

Okay. So here is the truck that brought the lumber for the roof. It is also the truck that lifted everything up on the roof.The crew was really kind. The took great pains to not smash my iris's and flower box.

You can see the big evergreen in the back.

So they lifted there sets of trusses up over and in-between the blue house and our home.

They got really high!!

They cleared the blue house roof by about 20 feet.

And then moved them over to our roof where the crew un-hitched them and spread the out to attach them to the  roof. You can see here they have removed all of the awnings and materials from the hot mop. They informed dad that they found the ants nest inside the old roof.

Here you  can see the trusses spread out. They were able to attach them and then they had to cover it all with wrap. We had rain for about a week before they could get back to finishing it.
