Well, it looks and smells sooooo good in this unit now. All the stale odors are covered with fresh paint…every square inch, including ceilings! I always think when doing a renovation the most dramatic change is when the painting is done! It makes a place feel new!
The structural engineer came today to review our sagging joists. The news is likely the best we could hope for. He has concluded it was likely caused from the original build. The remediation we think will be fairly simple. But the engineer had to consult with another colleague for what actually needs to be done to repair/reinforce it. Hopefully we will have an answer later this week.
In the meantime we can proceed with flooring the upper level and doing our finishing upstairs! WAHOOO!!!
Our original target date for completion was August 1st. I’m speculating if the joist remediation doesn’t take too long, maybe August 15th!
