Although not an ‘official’ jobsite, I work as a carpenter & this is my biggest project to date…my own house.
So far:
- completely removed (flat) roof, framing & insulation
- replaced with 16″ TJI framing on 2-12 pitch
- removed all interior walls, elect & plumbing…I found lath & plaster walls & remnents of knob & tube electrical
- increased insulation from R7/R20 (walls/ceiling) to meet local requirements (R20/R40 walls/ceiling)
- new drywall. paint, cabnetry, plumbing fixtures, millwork, flooring
This short summary doesn’t begin to detail the headaches & creative problem solving required to get this project to it’s current state.

A dusty Kootenay stands watch over the sheetroc installation.

With the interior removed we were able to make a new start.
-
Framing in the new roof. The little turret disappeared too. My son is busy nailing joist hangers
-
House as bought. It's suppose to be 30 years old. After gutting the upstairs I believe this house was built before WW II
