The house after the fire and during rebuilding ~ 1979 - The House, after the fire during Keith's rebuilding ~ 1979

Comment:

We replaced the beams with LARGER ones, and we put them flush up against the floor (vs UNDER the joists). This gave us MORE headroom, and LESS posts! All the joists were either replaced or had new ones set alongside the old ones. Also, bigger joists were used under the livingroom so there are NO posts in that whole area; This is looking under the kitchen.
