You may notice the date for the conception of this blog is several months ago with more recent labor pains...so far the most difficult part of starting this blog has been...well, starting the blog.
We have many irons in the fire...chief among them is the work on our house. We started out in the early spring looking for someone to shore up our front porch and maybe put some gutters up. As with all old houses (ours in an 1840's farmhouse) what you see is not usually what you get and we are now entering our sixth week of renovations that were begun with a decision to join the "vinyl is final" camp.
The photos are of the beginning part of our winterizing efforts. Once the porch was removed we discovered the lack of stringers so the house was pitching out over wall. So we now have a new attic, roof and porch/deck. This led to the discovery that there was NO insulation in the house.
Now we have insulation, new siding, and vinyl.
To be continued.

Don't tell Maisie that she's not "Chief Iron in the Fire"!!
WOW!!! I get to leave the first comment. How awesome...and I think somewhat apropos. I do know the foibles often old house. Ours in Potsdam was from 1845. My least favorite area was the basement. It was a constant fight against mold. Ah, but loved our Victorian House. You will love yours more and more as it becomes a greater expression of the three of your.
AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!! I missed being first by one.
