9 floor joists. That's how many were cut in a row in the basement. 9! Not only is this something in plain site to an inspector, but who the heck totally cuts through the beams that are created to support the house. This has resulted in a sagging floor, but also could result in just a little house collapse if we don't take care of it. OK, rant over (for right this second... although I could rant about our inspector a little more).
Over the weekend, Bruening's got busy with the vent installation for eventual installation of air/heat to the 2nd/3rd floor. Here are some exciting vent pictures:
Those black pipes are the duct work. We have the air coming from the ceiling on the 2nd floor
This one is over where we store the stained glass window. Alok panicked a bit when I told them how they even got one in that back room.
Now here we have an exciting change of pace and have the vents in the attic floor:
Creepy pic!
2 vents in our attic bathroom
In more exciting news, our plumbers are almost finished. The delivery of 2 of our fixtures was today:
Cast iron bathtub for the apartment area
My master bath tub!
Hmmm.... I wonder if it will fit through this door
The plumbers have been hard at work in the horrible heat (our house does not have any air right now, so it is VERY hot inside... and most of the windows don't open)
Nice copper things of some kind (I have no clue, but it looks good!)
Laundry sink area
2 new gas water heaters! Too bad we don't have water. Soon though, very soon.
This was the area by the water heater. I was trying to get a picture and instead it reminds me of a scene in a horror movie where you take a picture in the dark and there is a weird figure it in.
Alok has also been busy at work, building walls in the attic for the bathroom (I can't get this to not underline and am too tired to spend time on it!). Can you imagine how hot it is in that attic? Needless to say, he came hating the house today (heat + structural issues + never ending work= 1 unhappy Alok)
His "wet wall." Whatever that is!
Wall close up!
That's all for now. Keep an eye out for our 1 year anniversary blog, unfortunately coming soon :-( (house anniversary that is)
