A Fixer-Upper Project
The cabin was clearly not in good shape. Richard soon came to realize how much work he needed to do if he was going to turn it into a place suitable for living in. His future home was still filled with debris, and the roof was completely collapsed. Not only was it unsafe for a person to inhabit, but it was also dangerous to even peek in via the doorway. Regardless, Richard wanted to put in the time and effort to fix it up.
From The Ground Up
Richard first had to evaluate the condition of the structure and figure out the elements that he could still salvage. After inspecting the place, he took note that the majority of the wood there had rotten over the years. He figured out that he needed to tear down most of it and then rebuild it from scratch. Despite this, he hoped to save some of the wood he would retrieve from the structure to retain some of the original structure.
