Uinberp's Progress

Uniberp at his Muskegon Cottage

So here is what I've been working on, 3rd year. Finished (nearly) the new steel roof this past weekend.
In reality it only took like 6-8 working days to strip  and replace the roof but i had long periods of recovery between so the roof took about 6 weeks.
The 5th and 6th pics show some the extent of the gutting inside, and all new sewer, plumbing, HVAC, 2 additional bedrooms upstairs,
It's still gonna take a lot to make it habitable. Siding done on 2 sides, the 4 sides showing are left to be done, about the same sq footage as already done.
18 foot cathedral ceiling. 1.5 bath. I demolished and removed ~30,000 pounds of debris (300 barrels, 10 at a time, to the county dump). Demolition is pretty much done, one section of ceramic floor to go.
Some floor joists had to be replaced, I may replace them all at some point. The upstairs is all new anyhow, so new joists and flooring.
It originally had 10 foot ceilings with a tall attic  kneewall as well.
Double lot. 30 x 30 garage on the alley. 2 blocks from Lake Muskegon.
I got a DIY Foam-It spray insulation kit  for the crawlspace foundation wall.
For the cost of a 2014 Chevy Suburban.
Plus $1500 property tax annually. Not really using any significant amount of utilities.

He has a zillion times as much energy as I do. I might have had that much energy once, but it was a long time ago. Previous posts on this project.
