Week 2: I'm beaming - at the removal of beams

Week two was all about opening up the space and preparing for the stairs. A major beam that was in the soffit in apartment three was removed and framing was put up to support the floor while the hole is cut for the stairs. We will need a special inspection for this before the hole cutting can proceed.  I am not sure if that inspection has happened yet, I will find out next week!


Welcome! Watch out for that new big piece of wood.

The reinforcement went up this week to help support the floor while they cut the hole for the stairs.



That second set of framing on the left is to help carry some of the load when they removed the bream.


Before and after!
