Last week we saw a lot of progress. First, we moved our stuff out of the back 1/2 of the house and built a makeshift kitchen in the living room. (for you naysayers, we have actually cooked two meals on our new hotplate). Then they ripped up the old dining room and kitchen, removed walls, cabinets, appliances, etc (down to the studs). Turns out most of our walls had absolutely no insulation. Another surprise find: our contractor found a little note from the last remodelers dated 1983 and two bud lights in between two wall studs in the kitchen. At the end of the week they built forms and poured concrete for the walls, and then backfilled dirt.
Looking at the kitchen door
The note left for us in 1983 along with two beers! Too bad it wasn't a bottle of pinot...
Looking toward the dining room from the kitchen. They took out the wall in between but put up some temporary supports until they get the beams in. The white venting is our heating vent for upstairs (covered in asbestos).
Backyard foundation and walls
This extension of the foundation will support the angled upstairs master bedroom
