Old house is gone!

This week's warm weather helped the crew get the whole top of the old house down. The chimney was saved for use with the heating system. We'll have a whole new chimney for the main wood stove in the living room.

The plywood for the first floor subfloor is being laid down now. The framing will start going up this week, and we'll get more of a picture of what the whole thing will really look like on this lot.

We stopped by on the way to the Middlebury college soccer game. We parked at the house and walked to the game. Less than 5 minutes. Even Toosh didn't mind the walk.

Picked out windows yesterday. That was a big decision as we'll have more than 50 to buy. Also went appliance shopping to size appliances so that the cabinet maker can start on the kitchen cabinets. We decided to put cabinet fronts on the fridge and dishwasher so that they will blend in with the rest of the kitchen. Still haven't decided what we want the exterior siding to be for shapes/colors.

In other news, Nathan got a haircut this week.
