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!
