This are some of the pics from Thursday morning to today. We ended up tearing out all the joists and starting from scratch. We replaced thirteen joists with new 16 ft long 10 inches thick joists to provide awesome new support. The vent system you see to the left had been eaten on by vermin so we had to repair it as well.




This was work that we did on Friday. Once we got going on the joists it went a lot faster.




This is the sub floor in the office. We ended up taking it up too and starting with the older sub floor hoping to make it things a little more level. It was a lot easier to take up than I thought.

This is the office after we finished it. We still have to do some repairing on the walls. When we took the baseboards off things got a little torn up. It is so pretty.


This is about as far as we have gotten in the living room. We had to stop at the area that transitions into the dining room because the floor is a little unlevel so we are working on it and should finish the living room tomorrow.

We are not young anymore. We feeling every bit of it. The past few days have been a welcomed rest. We are now ready to get going again and hopefully finish this by the end of the week. That is if we do not encounter any more obstacles. Please pray for us.
