Basement Update #1
Posted by Chris Inch on Aug. 16th, 2006
If you’re someone who has had the experience of seeing my basement, you will know the mystery staircase that the previous owners left boarded up in the back corner. When Heather and I moved into our house, we quickly discovered these stairs and decided that we were going to take them down.
Basement Update #2
Posted by Chris Inch on Aug. 17th, 2006
I’m back again with more updates. The basement is a bit safer now. Matt came over again last night and we bought two jackposts and three 2×8’s from Home Depot. We made a nice sturdy beam out of the 2×8’s which now supports our kitchen floor.
Basement Update #3

My house is safe again. We finished up the floor joists the other night and I now feel comfortable walking across my kitchen floor. We still have to patch up the subfloor but the hard part is done.

Three pickup trucks and one Bobcat were at my house bright and early this morning, starting work on my lawn. The plan is to dig up and remove a couple inches of soil from the top of the yard. This will be followed by a slew of new top soil and finally sod to make our yard look beautiful again.
I think that this last month has been the most expensive month of my life.
