Just keeps getting better

Well, things are moving along nicely. Interior demo is mostly done, and we are digging the basement today. The only preblem is that every time we expose something, we discover a structural disaster. For that reason, we have to dig the basement and pour a concrete pad to support a post and beam to support the floors that have been completely undermined. We have to remove the roof on the back of the house as a result of duct tape and chewing gum construction, and we may have to remove the back brick wall since it has been so badly abused. None of these is going to be a major expense in either time or money, but have definitely been surprises. The other great challenge will be in coordinating architect and Baltimore city.

Tomorrow: zoning nazis?
