So as November rolls around, we still have a lot of good weather projects left unfinished. On the other hand there are a few projects that are finished. So here is the done list:
- Removed all concrete from the porch foundation. Put it on craigslist and someone actually picked it up for free. Didn’t have to lift a finger. Thank you

Here you see it.

And here you don't.
- Boiler is commissioned and making our hot water. Old water heater is ready to be pulled out and put on craigslist
- We bought a bunch of blue jean insulation and insulated the attic

- We have made some decisions about the new roof, drawings should be done within a week and we officially committed to our contractor.
- Removed the chimney and patched the roof.

Here you see it.

Here you see the Metalbestos pipe.

Hole in the roof, view from inside.

No more chimney in the attic. No more presents from Santa

All patched up. Hopefully enough to get us through the winter.
- Staining the sills for the front porch.

Redwood sills for the front porch with transparent stain applied.

Here's a close up.
