Here comes another weekend!
Whew what a week! Wednesday Alex finished off the framing and we completed the last little bit of demo. We opened up the kitchen ceiling to make plumbing and mechanical for the 2nd floor easier. I took out the yucky ceiling in the basement and we finished filling our roll off bin to the very …
