September 20 update.

More pics:
I suppose it was unrealistic to think we could move ceilings and walls around downstairs as much as we did and not expect that we'd be moving things around upstairs too. Here we see some of the results.

No cracks here but this is the door to our baggage room which is absolutely jammed shut. We can't get it open.

This appeared in the master bedroom. There were also so cracks in the hallway outside the bedroom door. The first day we started jacking things up downstairs out bedroom door would shut all the way any more. A couple days later they jacked up another section downstairs and suddenly the door would open again.

Here is where we straightened out a wall. If you look at the old tiles on the floor you can see the angle of the old wall. We had to straighten the wall to create room for the range (6 ft wide). We also just found out that the ventilation system for the new range is pretty substantial. It moves so much air that we would actually cool off the house in the winter so we have to heat the air that comes into the ventilation system. More on that later.












Here is the new doorway going into the new bathroom.


This is the new vanity and bronze sink that will eventually go into the new bathroom. For now it's still sitting in the garage.

With all the changes upstairs we sometimes neglect to report what's going on in the basement. Here is some of the old heating pipes that have been stripped out to allow for the new water lines that will be installed in the next few weeks.

Here are "the sisters". They're the two new furnaces that will heat the house. Most of the time one furnace or the other will be running (one week on, one week off). But in the coldest months both furnaces will run together to heat the over 6000 square feet of heated space (counting the heated barn) that we now have. We'll have more pics as the furnaces get made more at home.
