Beginning of the kitchen wall removal.
Feb. 4th. most of the wall removed.
No water, no power, NO back wall.
The beginning of the excavation.
The stairs down to the cellar are now gone. We found what was probably the original ground rod. They Gascony just poured those steps right over it, partially encasing it in the concrete.
The cellar stair wall has been removed.
By the end of today there was a good ramp to start the basement dig. I cut and finished removal of the last exterior brick wall to be removed.
We are saving all of the old bricks for later use in the project.
We started digging out the floor in the cellar. I am removing the remaining pipes and wiring.
Feb. 14th, excavation for the new master bath.
We found this random pipe. As far as we can tell it was the original drain for the kitchen. It went from the kitchen then est under the carport, then across where we found it then north across the front yard and out to the sewer line in the street.
Feb. 19th. Here is a sample of the duct work that I removed this evening.
The footing is all ready to have the concrete poured for the master bath.
Feb. 24th, Footings for the master bath are poured.
The first basement footings in the cellar are poured.
The view through the stone foundation wall where the heater ductwork went.
To remove the old ductwork I had to use a ladder to get up to tear the old out.
The back walls removed and the beginning of basement dig. 03/05/14
