After a “couple” of years of the roof leaking, most of the things in the attic had been damaged. It took 2 days of hot, disgusting work to clear the second floor out, but the first room to be cleared is in the books.

The best part is that most of the sheathing for the roof is in decent shape, less a few spots. I am fully intending on restoring this house with as much original material as possible, so this is a good sign. Once the second floor was cleaned out the smell of rain damage disappeared. This was a huge step in getting started on the house.
