That's me way down there, you're looking from the 3rd floor to the basement, where the chimney used to be.

Over on the right you can see an archway-- it had a note in the wall from a guy, Arthur,
in 1957 saying "Do something right the first time and you'll save yourself
a lot of time." Of course, if they'd done the job right, I wouldn't have found
the note.
Then I had an architect looking at the pass-thru and he pointed out that, to make that pass-thru someone had cut a major post in the wall. So looks like it went like this:
1) The house was built
2) Someone cut a serious hole in the wall
3) Arthur came along and closed up the pass-thru, reinforced it and left a note
4) I came along and tore it all out again.
Net result: I try not to invite too many people into the room above this at one time.

This is what the house looks like when all the plaster is gone-- all ten tons
of it. Found some interesting things in the walls-- two worn shoes over a window, old books and lots of pinecones. Indepenedently a friend told me that they would do this to keep the evil spirits out, so I put the shoes back.
And for those of you who see a ghostly image in this or other pictures, there's just a lot of dust floating around.

This guy had to be in his 70's. Better yet, we saw him running back
down the mountain as we drove down.
We cheered him on and thenwondered: What if he just really needed a ride and everyone was like
"Hey, good job!"
Earlier picture of Meredith and Jay was, initially an attempt to covertly take a picture of this guy (in the background) and then I notice them making gestures and wondering why I wasn't taking a picture, so I took their picture!
