First mistake was hiring a contractor from craigslist. Showed up a few times, staying a few hours if we were lucky. Did terrible work. Eventually never came back and ripped us off nearly $3,000.00 in all.

Gettin to work on the exterior
We started this project late July of 2013. By the time we had gotten anywhere in the inside making progress getting the hoard manageable, cold weather was soon coming. Attention had to shift focus to getting the exterior in shape.

There was rotted wood, missing wood and the chimneys had to be completely rebuilt as they were by then just stacked on top of each other. The mortar had turned to dust.
