Leigh and I headed out to Newburyport to do a little work on the house. Since we don't have a dumpster yet, or a ladder we were a bit constrained in what we could accomplish but we enjoyed spending some time out there. We saw some guinea hens in the neighbors yard...Riley, however, did not notice them. For the most part, we removed some siding and nails and spent time deciding what we could save from the interior and what we cannot. Mark and his crew will start on Wednesday. They will be taking the chimney down to the second floor and next week, the mason will begin to rebuild it using as many of the original bricks as possible. You can see from some of these photos that the house is post and beam and was framed with large oak timbers. As expected, there is a good amount of rot, but there is also quite a bit of sound wood.
