Lots of work, but not a lot to see
This is a catch up post! Lots has been accomplished since our last post, but not really much to see cosmetically. Remember when we said this blog was more for us to keep track of our progress--so this will be one of those boring post with just a list of what we have accomplished the last week. The basement has 4 windows that are below grade, have rotting wood, and leak a bit into the basement. Chris worked on one side of the house to remove the windows and block them up. 2 done on the left side of house--this side was completed first because the gas company will be coming soon to install the gas meter and line from the street to our house. 2 more windows for another day on the right side of the house. In the basement we had very old heating pipes that were wrapped in asbestos. As part of the condition of sale, we asked the homeowners to remove the asbestos. They countered with having them "sealed" which is what most municipalities recommend and is far less expensive
