Front porch decking by porch swing
The front porch roof, made of true 2x4 inch heart pine boards, took a weather beating. The light wood is new (sawmill cut to size), other is all original.
Love the curved Tambour bead-board ceiling
Paper going down over the plank roof - roofer gives a better idea of the scale of the house.
Roof going on- shingles, with porch roof in tin.  Hurricane Ivan took out half the 9-foot center window, no other damage.
The house is very SOLID.  Had to re-roof, rewire, replumb and fix damage to front & back porch roofs/decking, and refloor the pantry.  Rest of the house was in very nice condition needing some light cosmetics (but all original trim, mantles, baseboards undisturbed.)
Was original down to the cloth wiring, which we replaced without trying out.
