May 30: Shoring up the old floor, wall in family room, more plumbing

Finally got to put up the shear wall in the family room.  The cutout for the entry to the stair/hall is done too.

A pic of the reverse side.

More plumbing.  This is the washer setup.

Alex's straight cove ceiling framing is done.  Nice job Matt!

On the Sunday of Memorial Day I jackhammered out the concrete sides of the old heater access.  The concrete pad was where the package unit was sitting.

The main electrical panel and the new tower.

The inside electrical panel.  There might be more than one inside, but it's not yet installed.

The sewer plumbing from the second floor is too large to fit in a 4" wall.  This wall will be furr'd out to accommodate.

Some pics from underneath.  This is under the two-story section.  New sewer and supply pipes are seen.

This is under the old single story section.  We're adding floor joists to bolster the support.  The original had 4x6 beams on 4' centers.

More pics of the additional floor joists.  The lighter colored wood is the new stuff.

More of the same.

They had to do some digging under the house for the new sewer plumbing.
