These are the two rooms on the back of the house that will be demo-ed. We discovered that the original wood porch floor is beneath the floors of these rooms. we will demo the roof and walls (the staircase has collapsed through the roof on these rooms) and try to salvage the original floors if we are able. The small area that we can see looks to be OK, but we won't know until the rest is gone. (the old floor is yellow!)
When these were open porches it must have been gorgeous, the sunset over the park is really pretty.
Note, since this photo was taken the staircase has totally collapsed from the main house. That much less demo!
This is the remnants of the garage, this will be removed completely as it is pretty much collapsed completely at this point.
omg I remember when I was a kid my friends and I would walk up and down those steps out back facing the lake and pretend we were from era when the long hoop dresses were worn and pretend we were fancy ladies. My one friend even went as far to prented she was getting married and the dresses we would wear and what the men would wear. I am so happy and proud that you are bringing life back to that house . But I will miss you and the puppies from where you live now. Truly your neighbor across the street Charlie and Buddys Mom Patty Seifert (Cowell)
