Two days later, a main floor

The previous pictures were from the end of the day on Tuesday, these are from the following Thursday afternoon. We have a new mainfloor framed (kitchen, mudroom and half-bath), and the floor is going in for the second storey. Yes, that is our new entry to the mudroom.

Here was something unanticipated... looks like plain old dirt and rocks you'd find in the yard, right? Well, it was in our walls between the main floor rim joists and the exterior cladding. While it's good insulation, it's bad for moisture protection. They were able to remove it from the areas being remodeled. Haven't got a strategy yet for the rest of the house. What were they thinking 95 years ago?

This is the back of the dining room buffet. You can see the exterior of the "cabinet" on the left. The rest was part of the exterior wall shielding it. This will be the wall you see when coming into mudroom. New floor joists for the master bedroom are above it.

Here's the new kitchen wall facing the backyard. Window on the right is over the counter, window on the left is over the booth/dinette. Above is the existing bedroom floor!
