First half of November

I finally finished excavating! The stairs in the second picture should look familiar. Go back a couple of years and you can see them in pictures I took from underneath the place.






































Digging was incredibly boring. I came across concrete that dried in someone’s wheelbarrow more than twice, the occasional leftover piece of tile from the master bathroom, lots of extra scraps of the original countertops and some bits of the original flooring. The original cabinets were probably wood with turquoise walls in the kitchen/paneling in the adjacent area and these as the floor and countertop.






















Now that the digging is complete it’s time to start replacing joists again. This time I had a huge shipmen of lumber dropped off from Lowes instead of making numerous trips back and forth to get it. By the middle of the month 11 of them were replaced, but there was a growing transmission issue with the wife’s car and we needed to do something about it.
