During the Mess - Structure
This is a box gutter. This is a box gutter being held together with just wire. #notsafe
And that doesn't look good. It had to be completely rebuilt.
An older plumber had taken liberty of cutting into anything he could find. We had to fix that.
Water damage plaster that had to be removed. The upstairs laundry room leaked quite a bit.
This wall was originally cardboard. To make the roof safer and more secure we beefed it up so we could put the 2nd HVAC on top. We wanted to make sure there wasn't going to even potentially be a problem.
There is a full 1600 sqft in the basement. Sadly the beam that originally ran the length of the house was bowing and needed to be squared. That resulted in us building this massive wall on both sides of the central staircase.
This might give you an idea of just how much weight a single screw jack was expected to hold. We removed it and replaced it with much more mass.
Insulation EVERYWHERE! We built the insulation to Canadian standards. When global warming hits, we will be just fine.
Drywall fun
Firestop for safety
insulate the garage.
People forget that fire follows air - Seal off your house and a fire will be much less likely to tear through your home.
Need to fix that floor lol.
