During the initial stages of HVAC work this week, the installer found a surprise in one of the existing ducts.
We think it may have been there for many years because there haven't been young children in this house for quite some time.
Yesterday the hole was cut in the basement floor and the footing was excavated (24 x 24 x 18). The crew had to use a hammer drill with a 2 inch blade to cut through the dense clay under the basement floor. By morning about 3 inches of water had seeped into the hole, gotta love Michigan's high water table.
Today the footing was poured (960 lbs of concrete), and the post placed.
On target for support beams to be in place in 4-5 days which is remarkably on schedule considering the engineering that had to be done to support the second story load.
