Here is Joseph taking up the old wood in order to lay new wood down on the floor. We expected to have to strengthen the beams and stuff, however what we found was much worse (like every other project we have started with this home.)














This is the wood rotting in some poorly mixed cement that has crumbled to powder.









This is what it looks like now, after Joseph shoveled out the crumbled cement. Can you see that the beams are rotted away so that they do not touch the wall?















This is Jizelle fallowing me around.















This is a pup who showed up at our back door in the morning yesterday. We have been looking around for its owners, but haven't found any. Tiki loves the pup and wants to be with it all the time. It would be nice to keep it to keep each other company though the long winter months.
