Still Tearing Down the Ceiling 5-5-07

Well today we went upstairs to check on the water catchers and look what we found.

I would say that we have a little leak in the roof.
Well we thought that we would just dip out the containers and dump the water into the shower drain.

Well!!! See the next picture.





This is the pipe that leads from the shower upstairs.

After we heard a loud bang and wssshhh we ran downstairs to find the pipe had broke from the weight of the water.
Two sections were missing and water was running all over the floor.
Great idea on dumping it down the shower.






Well after we dumped the rest of the water off the back roof we headed down to start on the ceiling again.

Everything was as we left it from the almost death by falling beam experience. Last weekend.








My dad did find us some replacement beams for the ones that were rotten.

They were old cut lumber. Full 2x14x24. I believe there were eight of them.

You can see them laying on the floor.


This was a really good find as we are trying to replace things with period fixes and replacements.










There I am working in the air again.












Most of the ceiling has been removed except for both outer sides. This is because I went down the middle and cleared everything to the sides. I have cleared all the junk from the sides now and will begin working on those after the roof is done.















I believe we loaded another 3 tons on the dump truck again. I will share pictures of that another day.

Later
