Stone Walls- all the way!

When were were doing the foundation, we found out that beneath the clapboards, the walls of the house are stone.
Now that the clapboards have been removed, we're getting a look at it!

Here's the first floor...

I've asked them to try to leave a strip of rock exposed.  It will be next to the new back door and I think the transition to new sheet rock can be covered with a little moulding.  The builder said that as long as it's structurally sound that would be fine.

Below, you can see a little window or chute of some sort was framed... not sure what this was from- it's too high from the ground to be a coal chute, and too low for a window...  mystery!

And here's where the majority of those rocks are now, since they're preparing to break through the walls and connect the new construction with the main house...

The second floor looks super cool too- especially with the diagonal beams!!!

This is the back wall of the Master Bathroom.  There will be a doorway broken through the right portion of stone.  There will also be a doorway located at the place where there's the little window on the right.

This is inside the new laundry room.
