Martin has torn out all of the interior walls, except this one. This used to be the exterior wall, but then the kitchen addition was put on and it became the wall between the main house and the kitchen. We'd love to take this wall out too, but can't yet because it is trying to support the roof. The original studs were nearly completely rotten so it wasn't really supporting much. Martin has used some of the recycled lumber from the demolition to reinforce the wall. Once the kitchen addition is torn down, this will become the exterior wall again, temporarily.
Renovation of a 400 square foot house built in 1922 located in Cornish, Maine. The original foundation was 20 feet by 20 feet. At some point in the house's history a small (10' x 8') addition was put on the back. Later that addition was removed and enlarged to an addition the full width of the house and remained 8 foot deep.
