Weekend Roundup

Friday- Greg removed the plaster and lath that was remaining on the basement stairs.

Saturday- I watched Greg and his dad remove the boiler, we had quotes of $1200 and $500 to remove it and it only took them an hour and a half. We then purchased our second and third fixture a pedestal sink and toilet. We also picked up materials to replace the sills in the mud room and removed the flooring.

Sunday- My parents and Greg's dad came up, we jacked up the mudroom replaced the sills, replaced the floor joists and put down new plywood and studs in the wall. Mom and I worked on sweeping up the mess on the second floor and I trimmed the hedges. We also knocked down the chimneys in the basement and carried most of the bricks outside.

Monday- Greg and his dad took the day off to work on the house. They poured a new concrete pad for the new boiler and hot water tank to sit on, and removed the flooring in the first floor hall. The plumber came by and will start tomorrow. The framing is progressing slowly, but surely. A guy named Pedro stopped by and took the old radiators and pipes we didn't need, he even took some junky bikes that people left in our yard. I guess you can get money for any type of metal.

The bank and electrician will be by on Wednesday
