Git R Gutted

Well the holidays are over and we're back to work on the bungalow. I just had my crew through to finish the interior demolition. They did an amazing job and really opened the place up to get the new mechanicals and most importantly the upstairs addition started. The bungalow yep she got good bones. Have you ever heard that phrase? It really gives me the heebeejeebies and I can't seem to utter it with imparting a hillbilly accent on 'er. "Yep, she got good bones. We gone got r gutted and we gone git r built."

We'll be starting construction next weekend starting with a new floor deck. The existing 2 x 6 joists won't be strong enough so we'll be using new 2 x 8 joists. The replacement windows I ordered should be arriving in the next week or so. I still have other windows to order. But since they will be mostly for the second floor I can go with standard sizes and hopefully won't have as long as a lead time as the custom sized windows for the first floor. My masonry guy will be starting next week too cutting out an opening for a double french door to the porch and closing up a window and half of a door in the kitchen. I pretty much have to get all of my materials ordered this week so everything moves smoothly.
