new hole drilled through the concrete block:
Also, the framing for the 2nd floor ceilings and roof began today. They will begin laying some of the roof joists tomorrow.
First day of excavation...lots of demoing going on inside as well. We decided to take down all of the plaster walls, including the ones that are not being otherwise modified.
We discovered an old steel lined well in the backyard today. It goes down about 12.5 feet. We will probably be demolishing down about 9 feet of it, and then filling in the rest with concrete.
