Thanks Ray. The roof was a pain, real steep pitch, cupola at the top was always in the way and the hip roof made for a lot of cutting and waste. The yard, since we're both retired we have time to take care of it.

How's the beach house coming? You've done a ton of work on that. In the last pics it looked like a new house.

Finally got away from some of the ten day runs away from home, so I have been down every weekend for the last 3 weekends. Half the house is now wired and ready for an inspection, then I can pull all the old wiring out on the other half and move ahead. Just got a beam designed so I can drop the wall between the living room and kitchen. Like yours it's steel H beam. I think it weights around 300 lbs, so I'm going to need a little help getting it into place.

You think? You can rent a hand crank forklift to raise it. They used two to raise ours but it was over 700 lbs. 300 lbs isn't as bad but still a lot when you need to lift it over a few feet. Good luck, be careful.

Good Idea, I will look into it. Thanks
