Progress report (old post, out of date order)

All of the carpeting is out and all of the walls are down, the last one was next to the furnace and water heater and came down on Saturday night. The partiers on the street looked perplexed to see me carrying out rolls of old carpet and old 2x4s at midnight.

We're trying to get an estimate on cleaning up some plumbing that is running in front of a basement window.

Comfort Windows and Doors is coming on Wednesday to insulate the band joist and sill plate area. This should prevent a lot of air infiltration and make the basement less drafty and lower our heating needs.

New water heater is installed and pumping out the nice warm showers.

Reconstruction is expected to commence next weekend, starting with insulating the above-ground portion of exterior walls and, then framing the walls.

Pictures coming soon!
