Construction Beginning

Looking through the hallway to where the kitchen used to be.

Standing on the deck looking through the windows to the living room.

 

Looking through the livingroom windows, you can see the fireplace on the right and the kitchen on the left.

 

From the deck, you can see where the garage was--plywood covering where the garage door was.

You are in the living room where you can see the fireplace still standing, luckily!

Another view of the fireplace through the new window. In the center you can see a remnant of the green shag carpet.

 Here's a dramatic view of the chimney showing just how exposed the living room is.

Looking through the living room windows toward the area where the garage was.

 

The recently repaired microwave, the stove top and kitchen cabinets are all salvageable; the refrigerator is still good.  

Not sure whats going to happen with the kitchen sink!

 

Looking past  the refrigerator through where the kitchen wall was out to where the garage was. 

 Showing the stairway down to the basement on the right and on the left the very large supply of firewood that came as a result of the fallen tree.

 

Another view of the same, but on the far right you can see a little bit of the deck.

Standing to the right of the front door, looking down the hallway toward the bedrooms.

 

This was my favorite bowl! It was on the dining room table when the tree fell. The light fixture above fell and broke the bowl.

 

This photo was take from the deck above. You can see the tree stump below. It's shaped like a heart!

Another closer view of the tree stump; about 4ft across.

 

A view of the basement, which will look much different with better walls when the repairs are done.

 

Showing some of the new cement foundation in the basement.

 

A dark corner of the basement. You can see part of the refrigerator on the right. This was in the garage and now in the basement.

 

Some tools in the basement.

 

The furnace is intact.

 Some of the new foundation on the left and new wall next to basement. The basement door is right behind me.

 

New wall being built to the right of the stairway, which needs a lot of work!

 

This is the front view of the house.

 

A broken lamp in an empty bedroom.

Another view of the living room and deck.
