With the fireplace and chimney foundation in, we poured the basement floor.
Wow!! What a space!
While not envisioned as a finished space in the intial concepts for the project, I immediately identified a location for a new (larger) wine cellar, for an exercise room, and for a generous storage closet for christmas decorations/fishing and canoe gear/ etc.
Framing-in these basement rooms has been my weekend project.
Looking toward fireplace foundation and utility room behind
FR fireplace
LR fireplace - Flue pipe carries outside air to MBR firebox
Tree barrier, gravel construction entrance and tarp to prevent erosion
Fireplace foundation - outside air and ash dump in middle
MBR looking to porch and back yard. Atlanta skyline beyond
Looking up from the basement, thru the openings for the fireplaces and chimney
The orange barrier limits the construction area
Getting a little ahead here with fascia and soffit run
The weather cooperated marvelously throughout this phase of construction when we were so vulnerable
A little hand work on the footings
Steel beam
How do we hold the house up?
Diggin'
Bricks from the chimney; cleaned and stacked for re-use
All tented in
The drive down in the hole
The chimney is gone. See beam under plastic.
