Front Room

Because the front rooms were having the floors removed next, it was necessary to move our bed. So we now are sleeping in the kitchen - on the new floor! (It makes breakfast in bed convenient)
Day 4 - and it's the front room. John & Robert spent the day lifting the old boards up. Originally we had thought we would be able to salvage some, but it became evident that they are only suitable for firewood.

This is the board that separated the original 2 rooms - the wall of which had been removed sometime prior to our purchase.
Lifting these might look simple, but after 110 years together, they didn't want to let go. It took 2 men, 3 pinch bars and a crowbar to separate them!
Success! Man prevails!

The other half of the room.
And the passageway.
End of Day 4.
