Tuesday (yesterday) at quittin time, the back half was ready for shingles. This morning 3 guys show up at 0800 and stripped the frt half and were cleaned up/ ready to start the rebuild by 1130. Couple pics of what timber frame construction looked like in 1904. The upstairs floor and ceilings in this house are 8x8 beams with the middle filled with wedged in sticks and a mixture of clay, dirt, gravel, and straw. Walls the same but the exterior had brick in some places then all was stuccoed with an inch or so of clay and straw. Now, the floors, ceilings and walls will stay the same the roof will be insulated. Planning on the outside walls being insulated and wood siding going on next year, but the guy installing the heater and also does insulation said that insulating the walls won't be worth the time and money compared to the energy savings. Guess kinda like daylight savings time. may keep a little heat from going out but will also keep the sun from warming the stuccoed walls.... Anyway, here's the pics... Windows were just stuck in there when I replaced all the others, that wall will get another 4 inches of insulation and they'll be installed permanent.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?").
