Thought you would just renovate the existing structure, the floor plan, the way it was. I'm excited to see the new architecture plans and your vision. I give you so much credit; it takes a lot of energy, mentally and physically to take on a project this involved. Bravo!

Wow you really start to see the original begin to shine through, if you can I hope you’ll consider either raising the ceiling so you can keep from chopping those windows in half or thirds, or catherdraling the ceilings so you can show off the magnificent old girl. I realise with a big family to house it may not be possible but I’m also an advocate for historical buildings to be used and if possible used with as little impact on the original structure as possible. Keep up the great work it looks like it’s already breathing again.

We’re going to lower the floors so that the top of the windows are floor level in the bedrooms as we need the headroom. We’re going to leave the middle section as one large entrance hall with full height ceilings to show the whole of the windows in that section.

Probably depends on your upbringing and vocation to a degree. Retired now, I started my working life in engineering - you clean up as you go for both safety and precision reasons (and have thus done so throughout life). My late father started out in woodworking and only swept up at the end of the week or a project, working ankle-deep in shavings and sawdust. I can't bring myself to work like that - I clean up during, or at the end of, the day, if only to avoid taking the mess indoors or have it blown about.
