This is Sis's kitchen. She is renovating it. Bigtime, as you can see. Whilst exiled from the main room the family uses in the house, they barbeque, nuke and bump into one another. "Basically, it was the old house syndrome... foundation issues, rot issues, sill issues, etc. Turned out to be cheaper and faster just to redo the greater portion of the structure to make it sound. Remember, this portion of the house was added on as an afterthought after the main house and carriage house were built; thus, little if any foundation, little if any structural thought. Also over 100 years of abuse," she says.
It is probably easier to build from the ground up. I think I'll do that. Pretty soon, now, if all goes well. The lawyer actually called me today. The junior lawyer. But i ain't bellyachin'.

Nobody seems to care, but a tractor trailer costs $4.40 per foot, or around $500 round trip for a 54-footer, if it even fits. I'll ask tomorrow.
