A glimpse in a messy unfinished house

I have promised to post house pictures but I have been hesitant since our house isn’t finished.  Mainly just little stuff but some things that are going to take a while.  Recently my cousin told me that they are going to be taking down a very old barn on the farm where my dad grew...
