Change of Plans For House #1

As you can probably tell from the many pictures of the house, our plans for it have changed. Instead of renovating it, or remodeling it, we are completely "demoing" it down to the foundation. We were planning on just doing a little renovation until we found numerous problems that needed to be fix.

  1. Roof structure was unsafe, and need to be totally replaced
  2. Walls were no where's near strait or square
  3. Walls were framed incorrectly
  4. Sub-floor was horrendous
  5. Carpenter Ants created saw dust out of a good part of the floor joists
  6. The floor joists themselves were 2 x 4's spaces 2 foot O.C.
  7. The majority of the floor joists were unsupported
  8. And general poor construction

So do to this the renovation became a new construction. As of this moment we have demolished the entire house down to its foundation. In the next week or so we will have the foundation repaired. Once that is complete we will begin the building processes.
