The first priority was to remove the porch that had been added after the back porch had been converted to a bathroom.
|
Back porch floor rotted away.
|
Back door threshold completely disintegrated.
|
|
The "Georgia tractor" (our 1-ton Chevy truck) being used to pull out the studs holding the porch roof.
|
The roof refused to fall even after all the porch supports had been removed.
|
 |
 |
|
Removing the wall that had been added near 1900 enclosing the original back porch.
|
|
The original back wall of the house. The left window had been converted to a bathroom door.
|
|
Lowering the 19.5 foot back porch beam. The door to the left of the ladder is an original door at the end of the central hall. The door to the right of the ladder was added when the kitchen was moved indoors.
