Two weeks in and we've had a fair amount of changes. After the old breakfast nook was gone, the foundation work had started. The hole for the footings were dug then days of rain delayed the whole process:
...but a couple of days later we had a foundation wall with matching antique bricks
Meanwhile, BTF Construction told us that if we cleared the upstairs sooner, they could start that work in parallel - sounds reasonable...until you have to clear 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 4 closets (2 unaffected ones remained sealed shut):
A new 'upset' (on the same level of the joists rather than below it) LVL beam to support the ceiling joist after widening the MBR. Then, calling an 'audible' to accomodate a 5' bath rather that a 4' deep soaker and removing a hallway closet to open things up:
Homework this weekend: make a final tub selection and final modifications on lighting/electrical plan for the top floor. Oh, and shower and tub plumbing fixtures so the plumbing locations are set.
Wow! It's really happening! How exciting.
