On framing that is.
So yesterday was the day to start on the upstairs – our first day without a wall in our living level. There were no surprises really except this……..
He was a good 4″ long and came running out of the wall – tail all curled up when Les pulled the drywall off – he doesn’t look too impressive here as he has been sprayed and is good and dead 🙂
The other minor surprise we discovered (or at least we think we discovered) is that our living room was once a deck that one of the previous owners converted to a closed in living space – we found evidence of a red painted railing that they had used for framing – yep framing !!!
Red Railing….
Start of tear down….
All finished – framed in 2″x 6″ and strapped down (no strapping evident on the old wall)
Stay tuned for what we found today when we removed the *long* wall getting ready to frame 😯

Les does a neat and tidy framing job. 😉
Goodness, what a deal! Les is the best!! By the way where are the girls??

I agree he is the best 🙂 Girls are here at home but I keep them out of the “open” area – they just stay in the kitchen and sleep – it truly is a dogs life 🙂
Omigosh! If the livingroom was a deck, then that house was wayyyy teensy before! I love your little caribbean cottage, previous warts and all! Your guys are turning it into the best little piece of real estate on Earth! It’s so neat how Les is completely rebuilding the whole house! I had no idea in the beginning! 😯 😀
WOW! Just catching up and things are really progressing nicely~
You and Les will need a vacation once it’s all done! 🙂
