The Front Room

This was the front room when we bought the house. We actually planned on keeping the wood stove until we started tearing into things and saw how many problems it had, so we took it out. The roof and ceiling were also leaking so we had to take the roof off. It was quite the project. I guess I should say it was quite the project for Cody because I didn't even help with that. He did it with the missionaries.

Cody is just getting started tearing out the brick. We had no roof for a week or so if I remember right.
This is the view from up in the boys' room where there was still the hole from the old door that was there.
It was interesting when we tore into this room to see the front of the old house before they added this part on. You can see it on the right side of the picture. Cody got the roof put on just before it was dark and rain started to come down the night before we left for Nauvoo. While we were gone our friend and neighbor from our old house, Leo Dominguez, came and shingled and finished off the roof for us. He did a great job!
