Evil back wall.  Notice framing missing to the left of window.  This wall leans inward significantly as well.  Also note that no framing members run all the way from floor to ceiling.

Lunch.  32 inch subs for $8.99.  The proprietor of the shop next door loved having 25 volunteers visiting his shop daily, especially considering he had the only working plumbing available to us.  He brought us large quantities of food in addition to that which we purchased, and it was good too!

Doorway to back room- note the very short door leading to the back yard.

Back wall of the house, all new framing and shims installed so that the drywall has a chance of being somewhat flat.  Siding has replaced that fell off during the framing adjustments.

Side wall with new framing, and partially covered with drywall
21
Back yard.  The wires hanging down are TV cable and power lines that were going to a second building in the back, which appears to have been an in-law apartment, but now is nearly destroyed.
