We were not expecting to have the big holes in the cold air returns under the house...I am thinking that they would make actually returning the cold air a problem...
They did put in a sump pump to help dry things out under there. The gutters are all down on the house, most of them are in the back yard for some reason, but it has left the ground rather wet.
From what we understand, this pile represents about 20% of the dirt that will be pulled out.
Time to clean out some stuff and get it out for bulky pickup on Friday.
Have we mentioned that there is a coon problem on the property?? Here we are getting ur new coon protection package ready for use.
This is one of the cases where is gets worse before it gets better...the workers are tearing up the kitchen floor rather than making another hole in the foundaton. We are planning to replace the damaged floor in the kitchen with a new sub-floor and porcelin tile. We asked the workers to keep the floor boards they pulled out so we can use them as patches when we need them.
It is amazing really. Brick wall with a 4 x 4 and studs. And it held for probably 125-130 years before there started falling? The joists in here are still solid. We are trying to figure out how we can reuse them.
You can see where the joists were put into the bricks. This end of the boards were rotted out. The kitchen and the dining room had the largest gap between the floor and the base board. It is hard to imagine what the kitchen will look like at this point?
