Good progress. Funny your house is way older than ours (1960) but the lumber looks identical as ours was built using lumber from a much older deconstructed house. Royal pain to drill through or drive screws into.

Question about one of your pics in the first post. What is the purpose of the ac blower motor in the crawlspace?

I have over half our crawlspace covered in plastic. A pain with all the piers. 7' on center... When done will either use 4" poly iso on the walls or have it sprayed. Depends on if I can get a load of used foam sheets cheap. 15 sheets iirc. Will wait till spring before finishing under there. Still need to dig out the sewer pipe as it is going to be replaced with pvc and re routed due to remodeling I hate cast iron pipe.

Also need to design a sealed crawlspace door as well. Very little on the market and nothing that will fit.
