Pictures of the work...Mississippi 12




As promised, here are pictures of the work.  We don't have many pictures of us actually working because, well, we were busy working!  There are some before and after photo's though.
Inside Ben and Sue's house.  The sheet rock was removed around the lower level from the floor up 16 inches.  We worked at replacing all that sheetrock.


This bedroom had a laminate floor it in that had to be torn out.  The rest of the lower level has tile floors.

Water mark on the outside of Ben and Sue's house.
 

Jolynn preparing to cut the new sheetrock.

Laurel became a pro at rasping the sheetrock to fit just so!
Gail fitting sheetrock into the closet.


The closet under the stairs..

Brittany fitting the sheetrock into the closet under the stairs...

THAT is a PURTY cut...finally!! 

Jolynn mudding...just before she stuck her tongue out at me.  HA!


Siding and OSB removed 24 inches up the side of the house.  This will be done around the whole exterior of the house.


After the siding was taken down and insulation replaced.
A layer of waterproofing went on before the siding is replaced.  There aren't any pictures but suffice to say the ground was still wet and my pants had a layer of tar and mud on them from crawling around on the ground getting that waterproofing on the house!

Ben fighting with a particularly complicated section of siding.  The hope was not to have to take the whole porch down to get to the siding on the house!
 
The group with Ben and Sue at the end of the week.

The Yellow House.  Douglas and Mary spent a lot of time getting the sheetrock up in this room a couple of years ago.
The floor.  There are 4 dehumidifiers and a fan running trying to get the moisture out of the house.
Last time we were at the Yellow House, the sheetrock wasn't up in this room.  Hard to see it being torn out already.
