Busy last week at the house, the crew got steel beams under the house. At this point, there is not much of the original 1847 field stone foundation left supporting the house.

This week, it is going to be lifted, but not yet moved. We are waiting for McCormick to give us a date and we will coordinate with the city to close streets and BWL to move a few power lines.

The original stones from the foundation will but taken out and used in the landscaping in the new location.

Thanks for following.

McCormick has been out knocking holes in the stacked stone foundation. They are going to put steel beams into the foundation, some will remain for structural support, others will create a platform for the lifting. Next week we will see the beams poking out of the foundation where the lifts will be placed under the tails of the beams on the exterior.

This weekend, we will be removing the front door and framing in the space with a plywood exterior. This will get replaced once moved, but is needed for structural support during the move.

We are getting closer to the liftoff. Moving date to be announced soon.
