August 14th Bye bye old loft!

We removed the front of the old loft today. Called in heavy artillery and had Josh come up and camp out the night before.
New floor joists going in. Optical illusion the joist on the left side is actually in the corner of the house by the doorway, that is how much the front is pulled out on the north side. The old window was pulled out, it was already rotted out, and we will need to make a frame and lower the replacement window hole to fit the new room height.
Old remaining loft is holding the center walls together till we get the new loft built. Note how we lowered the new loft to allow more height for the loft.
Kids wiped out due to the humidity, 80% this weekend, yuck.
Nice early morning rain though, that was relaxing. Acorns are starting to fall so the drum of acorns is not too far away which means fall is soon to arrive.
