Plumbing, siding, and stonework

Progress is slow, but steady.  They started putting up the board and batten, as well as some preliminary stonework on the main house and chimney.

Here's the slate we'll be using for the back patios.

Excited to have a cozy interior library and reading room!

This will be an outside fireplace for the back covered patio.

View out the back of the kitchen.

Playroom takes shape.

Still have the apple tree!

Some of the preliminary stonework...

Nearing the end of framing (until the garage...)

The got the reclaimed wood columns and cross-beams in, and most of the doors and windows... they look good!  Here's the view from the main hallway looking towards the kitchen and great room.

More Framing, and Roofing

They're really making some progress now.  The old roof is off, as you can see in the first picture, and towards the bottom you'll see that they're nearly done with the new roof.  You can see the "old" house in the middle, and as things progressed it's really been absorbed into the new house.

View from the back:

This is the left side of the front of the house -- the siding on the "old" house is now removed, a new roof put on, and the front porch is taking shape:

Here's the "new" front of the "old" house:

Here's a view from inside the great room.  The ceilings are almost 16' high... changing lightbulbs is going to be fun :).

The kitchen, as seen from the great room:

Standing on the roof of the kitchen, looking back at the house, and then out at the barn.  We also decided that the barn will be coming down and will replace it.  What's cool is it has a lot of nice old wood that we'll use in the house now.

Standing on the porch... literally.

Standing in the (future) shower:

The attic.

Broader view from the front, now that the roof is nearing completion:
