Field Stone Wall in Basement Gone

June 19, 2012

Quite a day this way for these men!  Robert Ross Construction came into our basement and removed the field stone foundation wall that runs through the center of our home.  I watched that morning as vehicle after vehicle was coming in.  My guess is that there were 8 men here that hot 90 degree day. Poor guys!  One plus though, was that is WAS cooler in the basement.  A few guys also came back the following day and helped Jay with installing the steel beam and posts to replace that wall.  What a great crew!













Check out the video of these guys working hard.










Boy did that ever open it up down there.

You can see how thick that field stone wall was here in this picture.

Ready for some more demo?  Jay is getting ready to open up this door way a little more.  From this angle, this doorway is the one coming from the front entry into the kitchen area.

Here we go!

Look at that!  Wow!  Such a difference.
The picture below shows how the door way looked before we moved in.

Well, I think I'm all caught up except for what has been today.  I'll try to get that one going soon. :-)
