Hamilton House-page 12

Me decorating with a couple of the pieces I bought at an auction I went to.
Karl was busy outside working on the roof of the existing barn and the roof of the barn we had knocked down earlier in the year.

This is the handy attachment Karl made for his backhoe-so he can pick up long beams. It was part of an old fork lift.

 

This is me steaming off 14 layers of wallpaper to see what the first one looked like as well as finding the original paint color. The one I'm holding up was the last one applied (most recent). I had no idea there would be so many layers-but it was fun to do. The original paint color on the wainscoting was a deep rusty red. I have my jacket on because it was pretty chilly in the house!

Here is the main part of the house pretty much opened up! Ah, the beauty of post and beam construction. We are going to relocate the stairway and then start ripping up the floor boards so we can replace the floor joists that all need to be redone.
