In the day I guess they used to just use mortar to keep the dirt from caving into the basement. Well what keeps the mortar from caving in?
|
|

ANother kitchen window shot...
|
|
|
|
Looking up at the floor of the second floor...
|
|
|
|
|
When they jacked the house to level it a few of the support beams were stressed a little too much. Now thats a lot of pressure.
|
|
|
|
This is above where teh closet for teh master bedroom and the back side of teh new 1/2 bath.
|
|
|
|
Window that will eventually be removed that is in the closet of teh master bedroom.
|
|
|
|
Inside the master bedroom closet. Major stress...
|
|

Lets move to teh basement.. What a mess.... :(
|
|
|
|
Previous owners attempt at cable tv wiring.
|
|
|
|
Main structural Beanm that had been damaged by termites many many many years ago. this was teh cause for teh sag in teh kicthen floor.
|
|
|
|
|
SOme of teh supports that were replaced.
|
|
|
|
Hmmm whats wrong with this picture?? LMAO!
|
|
|
|
I wasnt kidding that beam was in pretty bad shape
|
|
|
|
Still more mess....
|
|
|
|
|
|
hmm interesting place for a shelf... 10 feet off the floor
|
|
|
|
UGH! What a mess
|
|
|
|
Well the floor joists for the second floor needed to be reinforced. That beat the crap out of our timeline and budget
|
|
|
|
And another window gone. And another one gone, And another one bites the dust.
|
|
|
|
JGeesh I sure hope they hold for the next 120 years....
|
|
|
|
|
Lets beef up that headder a little
|
|
|
|
Now THATS a headder LOL.
|
|
|
|
More bad news. Due to the beefing up of upper floor. We have to drop ceiling lower to accomodate ductwork and such.. :(
|
|
|
|
Ummm guys i dont think this is quite right
|
|
|
|
Here a bolt there a bolt with a bolt bolt here and a bolt bolt there E-I-E-I-O
|

This will eventually be a half bath
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Wholy chunks of wood Bat-Man its amazing what 3 days of work can do.....
|
|

Well the wall needed to be leveled it was leaning. Current theory is that when the tornado in 74 ripped through it put a lot of pressure and the lean.
|
|
|
|
Hmmm lets add another wall... NOT!!!!
|
|
|
|
Double the rafters double the pleasure I mean cost LOL
