Construction Update

The guys from Bauer Restoration have been as busy as beavers around here tearing the house apart. I don't mean that sarcastically. They are ripping out everything so they can start fresh.
When they took the Sheetrock off the wall facing the back three season porch, they discovered that when someone removed the patio door and installed nice oak windows they did not properly size the header. They made short order of that and did a real nice job making it right.


Prior to remodeling there were decorative beams running up the cathedral ceiling. For extra structural integrity, they are going to use rough cedar trusses that will be exposed. They will keep the walls true and put less downward pressure on the side walls. These guys really know their stuff!

Here is a picture of a temporary come-along they are using to pull the walls together a bit.


Next on the hit parade will be more demo to a couple of walls, some electrical work and then the insulation foamers will be out to super insulate the area. We should be able to heat the place with a candle and cool it with an ice cube when they are finished.

Very soon we will have to pick out the wood floors, ceramic tile for the fireplace and the stone for the fireplace hearth.

I am very proud of the job these gentlemen are doing on our home.

Tune in again real soon for another edition of "Now What Are They Doing?"
