More trees down, more walls down. The walls are replaceable if we change our mind but there is something terrifying about taking down a pair of 100 year-old Elms ...
I also wonder if we are honoring this old house by tearing off the beautiful redwood (that's right, old growth redwood) baseboards and replacing them with new MDF trim. It's such a shame to watch all that beautiful wood with all those layers of lead paint go out into the debris box. History like that is rare and I hope that the soul of this old house isn't going out in the debris box with the trim.
