House Update #4

The big news this week is that our I-beam is now in place and the last vestiges of the old ugly fireplace is gone. Now we don't have a hole in the floor on the main level to worry about. You can see in the pictures where they had to dig up the concrete floor to extend the plumbing that they have begun to repair the radiant tubes and have put in insulation.  We are getting closer to having the concrete patched up.

This is in the kitchen.  The radiant lines are almost completely repaired, and the plumbing rough ins for the sink and dishwasher are in  place.

You can see the brown steel I-beam up in the ceiling almost directly above Daryl.

Here's the I-beam again.  It's really opened up the main floor, and you can  make out where the hole used to be in the floor.

More duct work in the master suite!

Remember the large pile of dirt that turned into a small pile of dirt?  Now there is no dirt!

The powder room in the basement has also been insulated and awaits  it's new layer of concrete.

Work on the deck hasn't begun quite yet, but I thought this would be a good reference picture for before and after.
