House exterior today

South wall (Kitchen/dining below and Master bedroom above) now:

South wall 2 months ago:

South wall in the beginning (with storage room still attached):




East wall (front) now:

East wall 2 months ago:

East wall shortly after destruction began:




The front door still isn't installed:

But it looks better than before:

And, surprisingly, better than when it started:




West wall (back...no more suicide door in the upstairs bathroom!) now:

West wall 2 months ago:

West wall in the beginning (an island of trees and bushes made the full view impossible to get):




North wall (living room below and bedrooms above) now:

North wall shortly after destruction began:


We are finally dry rot free!
The crawlspace is dug out!
The foundation is patched!
All the felt is on the exterior!
All the windows are installed!
The floors are leveled (as much as possible)!
The major structural work on the interior is done!

If we can find a loan, we can finish the project. Hopefully John and Jesus (Hyrum's brother-in-laws) will be able to come out and give us a hand on the siding, electrical and sheetrock.

As for now, this is how it will stand.

I'm glad that you explained that Jesus was a brother-in-law because I was confused for a second! It's looking great though. Aren't you glad to have the worst part over?
