The Joy of Building.
One of the things I love most about design is the actual act of building a site. Well, I'm finally building something physical - walls! The attic remodelling is underway. We actually removed the old vinyl tile a while back, to discover that is was glued to tarpaper.
Now, tarpaper is a totally legitimate moisture barrier. After all, that's why they put it under roofing shingles. But not on a floor! It wasn't too bad - most of the spots where it stuck are no thicker than a piece of construction paper. But some places, tar had melted and accumulated.
That's the pile of wood in the finished half (which will be remodeled later, plus some leftover drywall from the initial round of remodeling we did upon moving in.

That's the unfinished half. All we've done so far is nail the footers for the walls to the floor, and mark the rafters for the headers - the headers have to wait until we can get some more manual labor and the nail gun.
