Construction
The demolition and construction
began in March 2006. We started restructuring the basement
foundation and first floor system while developing a
remodeling plan that would comply modern codes and city setbacks. During
the initial floor rebuild, we removed the existing mechanical systems
because they were dangerous and not to code. In April, the city approved
my drawings and we began full demolition. By July, the demolition
was complete and most of the frame had been rebuilt. In
August, we finished the last of the framing, dried in the roofs, and
sealed the walls with Tyvek. During the Fall, the windows were installed, the siding
was mounted, and a standing seam metal roof was laid. The contractor completed these
final design details.
