Three simple words. Words that can make my husband cringe. He tries to tell me that he really can't do everything (like I think). But he keeps proving himself wrong and proving me right. Because he really can do EVERYTHING!
Laura- Can't we (read you) just move this opening over?
Timothy- You mean that opening? The one that is 100+ years old and totally structural?
Laura- Yep!
Timothy- And log?
Laura- That's the one! Won't it be awesome! It'll solve all our problems! All you have to do....
Timothy- ........
Laura- It'll separate the men from the boys. I mean, who else do you know who has done this?
Timothy- .......... sigh........
And so it began.
See that little tiny doorway... Keep looking, it's pretty hard to see... Over there on the left side of the picture.
We started by measuring and using tape on the wall so we could see what our new opening would look like.
Then brought the chainsaw in. The best part of the chainsaw in the house was that our neighbor happened to be looking out his window and said to his wife, "I just saw Tim start up his chainsaw and walk into the house!". They came over a few days later...
He made a pulley system out of a ratchet strap. And cut. One. Log. At. A. Time.
Then... We brought the logs back into the house and started piecing them back together to fill in the old opening.
Then made some more cuts.
Aaaaannnnndddd the long awaited new opening was done!
