Just decided to do a little update. I am making progress on the house renovations. I have been dealing with asbestos and a bunch of lead paint. All of the wall paper has been removed. Since the house is over 200 years old there was bound to be a lot of wall paper. Now all the plaster is being fixed. The massive kitchen renovation is starting soon which I am excited about. I am looking forward to moving to Derry. Here is an example of the wall paper
There was a nice surprise. I found a chimney for a wood burning stove. It is crazy to think this is what heated 3000 square feet in 1795
I also found a sweet vanity and sink set for the master bath I am redoing. It is part of my never ending quest to find odd furniture.
I have been on the motorcycle every day and I am racking up miles. 2000 kilometers in a month!!!! That is about 1250 miles. I recently added the ammo cans and rear tire rack. I love my motorcycle!!!

[ my house is of that vintage, the 6 origional rooms all have
a fireplace] there would have been a big kitchen fireplace with
cranes to move pots closer to or further from the fire,
a brick oven is also fairly standard. If they didn't brick over the
fireplaces in the mid/late 1800's, then they would have replaced
those massive chimmneys with smaller ones for the 'fashionable'
stove and to free-up some extra space. Renovaton, a way of Life.
Nice to hear that you are haveing so much fun with the Hack.
