Lots of Progress

Top floor addition. It's been pushed out six feet.

Bottom level out back, will be raised a couple
of feet and become the kitchen with patio doors.

Old fireplace, apparently. Will NOT be restored.

The second floor addition is framed out, as is the entire second floor itself. The floor joists had to be replaced entirely because the floor itself was so uneven.

The back part of the main floor is cut away now as well. the next step - digging out the front part of the bottom level to add another foot to the room height (increasing it to a whopping seven feet). Also, the french drain will be laid, and the sewer pipes, etc.

I'm on dumpster number four now. One 40 yd and two 20 yarders for the debris, and a 10 yarder for the dirt and concrete.

The horizontal beams on either side of the chimney are
where the old floor joists lined up. Check out the differential.

Ladder to be replaced by stairway.

View from the front main floor.
