More Demo, More Dust

Entryway through into the old office.

This week the demolition continued. They have completed about 95% of it and on Friday even the floors were exposed enabling us to look right through the joists from the basement level through to the parlour. Whilst we were there, they were in the middle of laying down new plywood planks to serve as a temporary floor. They had also totally opened up the entryway removing the walls on both sides so you could look left out of the window and right to the bathroom. 

Generally, the GC and architect are pleased with the condition of the joists and remaining structure which is a huge relief however, we are going to have to call in a structural engineer to advise on a few things. This will cost a few more dollars out of the contingency fund but I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry especially where structural issues are concerned.
