day 3 recap - demo complete!

Day 3 ended with the completion of demo... yay!

SHOCKINGLY, all the floor joists are in great shape... unbelievable, I know!

There are a couple of minor repair items that surfaced:
+ the framing around the light well exterior window needs attention (a bit rotted)
and
+ a few areas of the masonry walls need a bit of tuckpointing

The floors have definitely sagged/settled a bit over the years, so leveling will be needed...

... but overall, the centurian floor joists are looking good!

Under each fireplace tile hearth, we discovered thick concrete beds/slabs... those have been taken out...

... while demo-ing the concrete, some of the framing/blocking got knocked out, so that will need to be repaired...  

The closet under the stairs has also been demo-ed, revealing the structure of the stair...

 ... and as suspected... new treads and risers are needed asap...

The vestibule walls are now gone, along with the tile floor...

... and under the tile floor, there was also a thick concrete bed/slab...  

... now gone as well.
