Dried up and more walls and more excavation

The old water heater room had no foundation.  Excavation proved it was cantilevered out from the foundation.  The big pipe is the sewer drain from the master and upstairs baths.  There are other sewer drains connecting to it.  There is a gas pipe and other abandoned pipes.  More archeology is to come. Read on....

Looking into Alex and Calis old room.

Same picture but a bit closer.  The stairs, still remaining and functional, are seen through the walls.  Beth still needs to finish cleaning the upstairs!

Matt and his workers found a dried up rat in the bowels of our house...

It's a bit crispy.  I suspect it's been there for 5 or 6 years.

Woohoo.  More walls.  The front wall of the new living room on the right is up.  Its got a gigantic opening for the window.

The plywood on the living room is up. No holes for the side windows yet.

This is the side entrance.  The dark plywood is 'treated'.

That's Matt poking his head out doing an excellent job keeping things moving forward.

A jumble of sticks, reinforced with more sticks that make up the new framing.

The front window from the living/dining room.

The old heater access getting ready for the new concrete foundation plug.

More excavation under the old water heater room.  The big sewer pipe was cut. The vertical pipe is a gas supply pipe.  The yellow stripes is the location of the new foundation.

Matt talking to Beth.

Matt's guy underneath the house digging out for the new large concrete supporting piers.
