Transition from demo to re-build

Progress Update

Beautiful weather greeted the crew working Saturday November 5.  Demolition of the front porch was completed.  Minor plumbing line relocation was done while walls were open.   

 

Speaking of walls, Matt and Mark framed new walls for the basement stairs.  These will add safety (fall protection) as well as a sturdy place to mount handrails. 

 Mark and Mark dug and poured footings for the new back porch.

Outside cleanup continued and new bathroom fan/light units were installed, wired, and plumbed to vent outside.  Matt and Nicole installed the shower and installed moisture-resistant drywall.
