A Hiccup & Framing Begins

This is the rough floor plan

Workers arrived!


It had rained a lot the week the workers started and when they started to fix the warped floor boards they saw there was a lot of water under the house. Not good. So they pumped the water out, dried it out and we had them install another sump pump under the house to make sure it stays dry. They also put an alarm on it so if it stops working and water collects under the house, it goes off. 


They started to frame the outer walls. 



It's dry!

Let the framing begin



 The window that was to be in Hudson's room needed to be bigger, so they dug out the window well and put in a new window. 


More rain


This is the pile of wires that came out of the basement!


Floor boards to replace any warped ones.






New sump pump








After they framed it, I changed how I wanted it... 
Adding some built-ins and making the walls line up. - Blue tape is where to put the framing and where the built-ins would be. 



Fixed, this is the space where the built in wardrobes will go. 


Hudson & the bathroom door ways. 


Cutting the concrete for the bigger window. 

Future TV/built in wall. 



Demo Day(s)

We demoed the basement ourselves. 
It was a ton of work and took a couple of weeks of free time.

We also ripped out the deck on the back of the house. 




The old trex we gave away for free. We kept all of the wood for a few future projects we have in mind. This little bright pink trunk with two old guys managed to take all of the old trex away in one haul.
