Day 3 - March 25, 2009

The big news today is that our storage trailer arrived so we can store equipment as well as salvaged pieces of the house. We started slowly this morning, doing work outside, mainly picking up siding and debris in the yard. Among the more interesting things we found were a bunch of glass jars - mostly broken but some still filled. We're not sure what was in them and we decided not to open them.

Once we got inside, we focused on finishing the demo in the library. In the back corner of the room there was a small closet that we took out. Once we had the lathe and plaster down, we discovered an area under the back stairs, where the chimney system is. Hidden beneath the stairs we found some old stove pipe, an iron, fireplace tools, an old box and a wool hat. As we got further into the demo of the walls, we uncovered some old Indian shutters that had been covered by pine board.
The other exciting event of the day as that Riley met the Guinea hens...no harm no foul...err fowl? She ignored the hens...the hens, however let her know who was boss.

It should be fun watching their relationship develop!
