Some people didn't do much over the four day weekend, I'm not some people....

Hey wow, that porch is lookin' mighty fine, today I took it easy and cut the new flooring(re-purposed from the old front room), and over this week I should start screwing it down.

I think it looks amazing.

Here's the progress over the weekend.
 New pressure treated floor joists...
 New bottom plate for that wall where the second door used to be.
 Re-used the studs, and space them on top of the new joists.
 Stringers, made from the old joists.
 Oooh, lookie, they are plum and should make it easy to install the insulation.
 New subfloor.
 This is what was left of the stud in the old doorway, and yes it appears they used a hand chisel to cut away about half of the stud so they could put a 32" door where a 30" door was.
 Very bad idea, next time peeps, move the stud.
 Re-purposed the plywood from the old hallway that was used to level-ish, to install carpet.
 Old studs out of the way.
New Studs ready for the new door.

Also found a leather toolbag, with tools in it. This is the hill to get out of Brownwood, as the city is in kind of a bowl that creates sort of a weather bubble to keep the rain out. This is the green sign you can barely see in the first pic. Made it, 9ish miles, not much to see, was looking for those junk stores that were there when I first rode past, they weren't open.  Didn't find my fellow dumpster diver's place either. Here's the toolbag, I gave
