Project Begins



The project was started promptly after selecting STS Remodeling as the contractor. The existing masonry chimney was demolished and the owner's temporary living quarters were skillfully placed in the back yard. There were some nervous moments squeezing the trailer down the side of the house, but thanks to extra efforts by the contractor and careful driving by the owner, the owner's trailer found it's new place for the duration of the project.

First, six new pilings were placed for the new addition foundation on the north side of the existing house. Then the foundation concrete was poured. Also, the interior finishes and fixtures were removed from the existing main floor to expose the old framing. There was one piece of history to note, the signature of "Roy Morriss" was found on one of the corner braces. So far, Roy's signature is still on the building he probably helped to construct.
