Construction Update

After only two weeks into the project, they finished digging out the basement, poured a new floor and framed the walls. The snow storm delayed the electrician a few days (snow plower?) so the contractors decided to keep the momentum going and jump ahead to Phase II of the project (see below).

Phase II is a new kitchen. The original back of the house separates the kitchen from the dining area. We're removing the wall to make it a more open floor plan. Here, they removed the first layer of brick and installed a steel support beam to prevent the back of the house from falling down. Yes, this makes me nervous. Tomorrow, they plan to remove the second layer of bricks and install another support beam. Then it's back to the basement.
