What once was a siding job has now turned into major structural repairs. |
The studs are 'floating'- supported by the jacking beam bolted to them. |
We had to remove a hall wall, the front door, and all the flooring on the first floor. |
Hickman's Termite and Pest Control treated the building twice yesterday (we kept finding more active bugs) . |
The bug man estimates they've been chewing on this building for approximately 5 years. |
This is called backwards building; suspending a building in air and building from top down, not bottom up. |
We bolted 2x4s between the front wall and the floor so the wall didn't swing out into the street when we lifted it. |
