That is about where we are coming up to Christmas 2012. They have started putting on drywall so it is more difficult to take pictures of the upstairs. So far there is drywall up in two bedrooms and some closets.

We are excited to see what 2013 brings!

Then the ducts for heating and a/c and, of course, more fiberglass insulation ON TOP of the sprayed-in foam insulation and new bath and bedroom walls.

First layer of insulation was the sprayed on kind... Made everything nice and pretty, again.

After the old stuff was gone and the new I-beam was put in then we got the new floors in the dining room and kitchen.  Next the ceiling which was the floor in the upstairs was removed and the floor joists in the second level were either replaced or reinforced.

Our kitchen and dining room floor as well as all the burnt joists were removed and the basement had to be cleaned of all the smoke and soot.  A new I-beam was put into place.

We have been so busy we haven't had a chance to add pictures - so here are some that show our progress over the last 4 months.
