Thats right. A port-a-potty. Its fantastic supplying all of the neighborhood scrappers and bums with a toilet....wait its for the construction workers, I forgot.
I was on the main floor yesterday checking out the water damage and saw this laying a pile of rubble......and paper from the original construction of the home. See the date at the top? Yeah, its old....February 8, 1907....I am not sure that I have ever possessed anything older.
Exterior rear of the home. As the stucco is coming off the exterior clap board is exposed. Hopefully we will be putting house wrap on this house in 2 weeks or so which will limit the amount of weather that can get in through the holes and cracks.
Interior rear of basement. As you can see, the foundation wall is brick, and is sitting on 10" thick stone footing that we are going to be digging down to the bottom of in order to gain a few extra inches of height in the room. The basement has yet to be fully emptied, but that should be happening over the next few days.
Rear of the home. You can see where the stucco used to be. This is going to be a much different view in three weeks with the 2nd story roof being completely remodeled, changing the window sizes in the kitchen, and adding the sliding glass door at the back of the dining area.
There is not going to be a lot of work happening at the house this week other then the balance of the demolition. This should be done Tuesday / Wednesday of this week. The carpenter is on vacation, and we haven't chosen a mason yet, so there will not be any major work going on until the following Monday. The demo people will be cleaning up the entire property at the end of their job which will make for a good set of pictures to base all of the remodeling on.
