We're just gonna blow out this wall and put in a beam! Part Six

After the old laundry room wall was stripped of panelling,  drywall,  plaster and lath, and an ancient wasp nest, I stole Mr. FT's serial killing crowbar and started prying out that old leaky fly streaked window!
Poor Mr. FT. 
 What will he kill once there are no more flies????





 A new doorway to the porch was framed in to make a corner for the wood stove.


Look who came to visit us!
  This is Foxy the foster dog.
Hopefully she will find a loving forever home next weekend.
This weekend she becomes construction dog!


Speaking of construction animals, we decided to incorporate!
Just Kidding 



Update: since I wrote this post...Foxy has a new loving family
 and Manny found a new home with other goats. 
 He's no longer an only child!
Cheers to good people!

  8. I love Foxy! So glad she has a new family and isn't forced to do construction with a baby goat for a boss. Whew, that must have been tough! ;)
    Not sorry to see the flies go, but yay for new windows and wood stove corners!
    Hugs, T.

    Hugs to you!

  11. I think you have officially become a foster pet farm and it sounds like the animals are deciding it for you. So glad they both found homes and my oh my, you two are SERIOUSly working this reno. Can't wait to see the end result.

  15. No more dog, goat or wall? The house must feel empty. At least, you have a beam!
