Interior basement weatherproofing


The basement at the Hilary Baker house in Church Hill. The large open hearth in the next room (shown here temporarily supported with wood) is being restored to be a functional fireplace again. The floor will get a new slab and in-floor heating. We've been down in this basement for a week or two trying to take care of all details that go under the new concrete slab. There has been lots of digging through clay and river rock, and a few cool things found. An archaeologist is sifting through all of the dirt that's coming out of the basement to look for treasure, and has found some old pottery and bottles.
