the truth will out

[15_the_circle]

the deshinglement of the S wall is moving along at a brisk rate and has actually outpaced the availability of new old siding material.  the intermediate level between front and back is now beginning to appear, and sure enough there are differences.  this part of the wall has insulation that seems to be in reasonable condition, as well as a reasonable surface to which the siding will be attached.  the Excellent Trim Carpenter is acquiring the lumber from which the boards will be milled and will bring it all down when it's ready.

the exposed wall layer is revealing a truth I hadn't expected to face: I'm living in a tar paper shack.

This restoration project is very interesting. :-) Old homes must contain many suprises.

they absolutely do, and this one has been providing its fair share of them.  it's all documented in the archives, to which I often turn for reference in later phases of the project (which is a great deal of why this journal exists).  even the Excellent Trim Carpenter himself has been known to look here.
