A fairly productive weekend so far. Yesterday we framed the corner of the "L" where the pipes go upstairs, then put up another piece of blue board on the ceiling. Also put some greenhouse roofing on the porch so when we get the rain and snow in winter it will hopefully protect what's left of the porch roof and stop the water leaking inside issue that we had last year. It's a bit of a Heath Robinson affair but I think it will do the trick. Today I went to home depot to get more blue board, and the plan is to get another piece up in the ceiling then we can make a concerted attack on the walls. We also purchased the flooring for the "L" last weekend, and once the blue board is up we can start on the flooring, but that's probably at least a week out - maybe over the thanksgiving holiday. All this work concentrating on the "L" is because we've ordered a pellet stove and that gets delivered early December (we hope) so we need the room done by then, or at least where the fire is going.

Today is a beautiful day outside, high 60's, so I'm also doing one of my favorite hobbies, chopping up wood and burning. Alyson is chatting to Charlotte so work has stopped for a while.

Enough rambling, time to go feed the fire and cut some blue board to size. I'll update you all on progress as it happens, and I'll try and post a few pics of our work.
