Some big changes occurred this past week. The carpenters cut a giant hole in our second floor to make room for our staircase. It is massive - way bigger than I had imagined.
The dark markings on the wall show where the former stairwell once was. To remove those spots, the brick will need to be sandblasted.
This is the view from the second floor, looking down into the hole.
The guys also removed the walls that enclosed the air shaft. I always wondered what the inside of this silo looked like. It seemed so mysterious: why would there be this air shaft in the middle of the building? My plan was to use it to store supplies in case of Armageddon. Now that it's been removed, perhaps I can create a bunker in the basement.
Watch your step there, chickie! Fantastic progress!
ReplyDeleteThanks JH! Watching the transformation has been amazing. I still pinch myself that we're doing this.
