I haven&#8217;t removed any of the framing yet as I&#8217;d like some second opinions on which are the load bearing walls. I&#8217;ve found that removing the walls is much easier than I had anticipated. I suspect rebuilding them will be a different story.<\/p>\n<p>I am hoping I can save the old framing wood to use in the new walls and save a bit in material costs. Most of it appears to be in good shape.<\/p>\n<p>It felt really good to begin the restoration process. There is an incredible amount of it to do!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We finally closed on our new house on Friday.
