The aluminum siding has started to come down, and now there’s a view of the wood clapboard beneath.  Likely this is from the 1970s renovation of the house – gold was a popular color then, along with avocado, and I think I’m glad they picked gold (okay, mustard) over avocado.

The site is much cleaner now, which means we can now start the restoration work.

Interior demolition and site cleanup underway.

There are a few good shots to be had, and they show the potential this house retains.  Also, I’ve included probably my best shots of the stained-glass window.

We took the boards off the windows to let some light in and to get some better photos.

It’s nearly ours.  A crew is in now removing all of the stuff that was damaged by the fire.  Once they are done, we’ll take title.
