The first floor deck for the north side of the house was completed today. So, now if it snows again, at least they won’t have to shovel out the basement.
First floor from north
Earlier in the day, Sam the Foreman was moving a large pile of decking material closer to the north side of the house. There was a minor mishap.
If only forklifts had thumbs
No harm done. They piled everything up again and successfully moved it to where it needed to go. A few hours later, the decking was in place.
Now we have a roof over our basement, which feels surprisingly spacious without all of the cobbled-together beams and lally columns.
New floor coming soon
For the sake of comparison, this is what the basement used to look like. It formerly served as lair of the dreadful octopus, the second-creepiest furnace I’ve ever seen. (Creepiest.)
It can't hurt you anymore
