Notice here that the much of the interior walls are missing.

This is the kitchen after the partition was removed. In the  lower half of the room, the walls needed to be insulated and relined, the ceiling was non-existent at this point, also requiring insulation —and plastering.

Since this blog has been appearing now for more than 10 weeks—despite a couple of near-disasters—it might be time to go back and review the renovations that have been taking place. This will hopefully be facilitated by some photographs taken on my cell phone, which I could not access until just now, and this with the help of a charming young gentleman called Jerico, from Applecare. Despite the fact that my mobile phone is not compatible with my computer, Jerico managed to find his way through the technological jungle that had had me flummoxed. Thank you Applecare. Here, courtesy of Jerico’s technological savvy are pictures of the post-re-stumping phase of this very old house’s history, before three of the rooms were re-floored.

The picture on the far left, above, shows part of the extraction device from the old stove left under the fireplace.

This is the kitchen after I had removed the old cupboards and tiling.

This huge fireplace took up most of the kitchen space. It had been concreted over and covered in wallpaper, which I managed to peel off with a razor blade. However, when I finally decided to have this monolith removed, a veritable treasure emerged from the dust and rubble.
