Front Door

The front door is completed except for painting....before and after photos for your enjoyment!

Stairtower

We kept the door in the stairwell so that we could bring in construction materials without going through the house. Although we still have painting, floor finishing, 2bathrooms to install, we're done with major construction on the 2nd and 3rd floors. So, time for replacing the door with a window. Now comes painting and installing the outside sheathing/trim and insulation, drywall, trim and painting on the inside. Once done, this completes the last installation of the windows and doors!!!!

Front View

Here are a few photos of the front of the house.

2nd Floor Floors

Here is Tom finishing the floors on the 2nd floor.

Visitors

Our close friends from Phoenixville the Evans (Jan and Bill) and the Carnevales (Lauren, Tom, James and William) have recently been down for visits. While Jan and Bill visited, we roped them into protesting the development of local farm land (you never know what you'll be roped into when you visit us!!!). During the Carnevale visit, the boys went swimming in the pool & we toured Lewes including several local museums.

3rd Floor Complete!!!

Finally, the 3rd floor is done. Still working on the 2nd floor.

2nd Floor Heart Pine Wood Floor

Typical in old homes of Lewes, the 2nd and 3rd floors would be made of pine. We had antique reclaimed heart pine milled from old barn beams. The wood sat for several weeks in the living room getting used to the humidity, etc. It’s been an obstacle course getting around the pile!!! Also shown is Tom installing the 2nd floor.
