Today's project: demoing the porch! Before and after! I am totally beat, totally beat up, bruised and battered. Recovering from dehydration. I'm OK! Wow, we got a lot done!!1
This was the worst thing we found: Most of the joists for the roof were sitting in joist hangers without any screws or nails in them! And just as bad, most of the hangers had a 1" spacer in them, so they were hardly overlapping. @#(*)*%)#! #house_rehab
@jeremycherfas yeah! The hope is to build a 3-story addition with stairwells in it, so we can take existing stairs out of the building. Our house is only ~15' wide inside. If I can get architectural plans together, we might try to do it next year.
@33MHz Good job, that was a hard day of work. Now you are left with something that is frequently featured in my dreams since childhood: a door up in a wall that doesn’t have stairs. I don’t know why but buildings and doors are recurring dream topics.
