Brick stoop removed to build new vestibule.
You can see the old stoop
here.

|
Notice that the brick is cut flush with the sides of the windows.
That turned out to be a mistake.
Had to put some of the brick back when it was all done.

Oops!
The outer form wasn't braced quite well enough.
The weight of the concrete is making it bulge.
Had to brace it a little more.
|
|
| 2009-06-08_001_DriedFoundationWall.jpg |
|
Foundation wall thoroughly dried.
Wooden form removed.
Wall is a little thicker than planned where the form bulged.
Not a problem (or so we thought, at first).

Fill the entire wall with well-packed modified stone and add rebar for the
slab (vestibule floor) that will be poured next

|
Note the new roof extensions at each peak end of the roof.
You can see that there was no overhang at the
south peak
or
north peak
of the main roof, or at the
peak of the bedroom roof
until we
added them
with the new roof.

|
| 2009-06-08_007_BrickCut.jpg |
|
Now you can start to see why cutting the brick flush with the windows
was a problem.
We're going to end up with new siding instead of old brick for a
few inches on that wall.
