These are pictures of the inside of the cabin with the roof off. In photo 1, behind the tarp is the bathroom. In photo 2, the boards behind the scaffold protect the big picture windows.
We visited the cabin over the weekend to check progress on the roof job. Earlier I had reported that they took the old roof off of the stone portion of the cabin. That means demolition – messy job no matter how you slice it. So as we hit the road we were steeling ourselves for the worst.
We found incredible piles of debris everywhere. The old beams in piles in the front and back, the old roofing materials (Jesse told us there were six layers of shingles!) here and there. The termite damage on the beams was incredible, and I still have that battle of the species episode to write.
As we entered the house, the feeling of not having a roof overhead was very strange. Even weirder, having plastic draped all over to protect the contents – there really isn’t much there yet; and then all the scaffolding inside, the rig they jobbed up to move all the big pieces of wood.
We were definitely there for the worst of it….
