    Yes, I prefer a higher grt, and no finish, to the dense woods like the blackwood, and ebony.

    Nice that you have a crawl space opening close by. Help make plumbing a little easier. Good luck.

    Dear God what have I gotten myself into!

    This is usually the point of these kinds of projects when I get that "point of no return" feeling..

    Now you are starting to get somewhere. I’ve always hated demolition, but you are getting to the fun stuff soon enough. I love a blank slate.

    I love the demolition and the big work. At the end of the day you can see the difference.

    Trim work and details drive me buggy.

    At the end of the day you look at it and there isn't much done visible.

    Hey, Josh. Think of it as a big razor, restore. Looks like a new set of scales, and some work to the blade, a good polishing....good as new.!!

    Demolition is fun. I hated framing houses in the winter. Eight degrees out and you are swinging a hammer, ugh. When teaching gets tough, I just remember that I am not upside down in the rafters at zero degrees.
