Basement-
The foundation is granite to the timber sills and look in decent shape. The foundation did not seem overly wet even through the flood of 2011.
There is a spring box from a spring on the property that apparently is not in operation. There is also a water softener.
Typical septic and field.
The house is heated with a peerless oil boiler through baseboard. There's an old wood heater in the basement with a few metal flues and there are two chimneys.
Round floor joist under the east wing that are in good shape.
Hand hewn spruce beams in the main section that have some powder post beetle action. Several wood and steel posts have been added with inadequate bearing plates. Not sure what happened to original posts. There is a retrofitted concrete slab.
Second Floor- Open attic over the east wing. Sawn and notched spruce rafters in good shape. The rafter plate is exposed and also doing good.
First Floor - There is a combination of sawn and split lathe and plaster on exterior and original interior walls and ceiling. No insulation.
Studs run sideways with larger sawn posts that always fit the 4" wall width.
