Week 5: Foundation work continues

Luckily Poland is not faring well in the World Cup... Thom's guys were able to work on the walls last week - bringing the 1st floor ceiling height level to 9 feet, and installing angle irons where we will need window openings cut out. We will wait to cut those out until the framing is done - thereby allowing for more stable and secure masonry walls. We also had the make the executive decision to remove (well, remove, replace, remove, replace, remove, replace), the many layers of subfloor on the existing part of the house. Talk about a plethora of screws, nails, glue, plywood etc etc etc!

Week 40: Move in!!!

Move in day was a success! The house looks great Shaun and Amber have been an absolute pleasure to work with (also confirmed by the fact that my trades love them too!). We can't start landscaping the outside for another 4-6 weeks, so more photos will follow when that's all done!

Week 2: Footings and bench pinning

Phil, Miguel's footing guy, was in at the start of the week to layout the footings. After pouring, I was able to get Thom in there to form and pour the bench pinning (kind of like underpinning, but poured in one shot to allow for a deeper basement level for the rec room).
