And we have a loooooooooooooooong list of stuff to get accomplished.
- Beam the house and crank it back up so the middle of the house is once again level
- Remove boiler from the basement, so 1. it's finally out and 2. we can finish the above project
- Paint the entryway, stairway, and upstairs hallway (all one color)
- Redo trim/woodwork of said above rooms (getting old paint off edges of stained woodwork downstairs & making and staining upstairs woodwork)
- Shingling - to be done the first week of May or so... this is going to s.u.c.k., a 12-12 pitch and lots and lots of angles
- Move the laundry room upstairs (house must be level 1st), which means removing plaster & lath, then sheetrocking and plumbing everything in (C's territory) - complete redo
- Bathroom remodel. This is fallign apart as we speak. A new tub is an absolute must at this point, and as long as we are doing this we might as well do it all.
- Pull up carpet in the to be pool table room (aka the parlor), get the fabulous wood floor refinished so the pool table can be moved in. Remove extra non-used door, patch wall and paint the whole room. Get the added in closet door to match all the other woodwork (?)
- Also remove carpet and linolium from entryway. Get this wood floor and dining room floor refinished.
And I'm sure there is more... but this is a good start, impressive huh?
And some pictures of our progress:
You can see in the above picture the old telephone pole that was holding up the house. And to the right of that is the temporary support that held up while we were installing the new beam and support in it's place. To the right of all of that is our brand new furnace!
And the new beam and support in place!
Chris putting up the other end of the beam & apparently cranking it really hard. To the far left you can see the temporary support in place where the old support stood on this side of the basement.
New beam and support :) The old boiler that needs to come out. Only 1 more beam to go!
