Walls, Floors - All the Modern Conveniences






Week five begins and the changes from one day to the next are huge. The demolition is almost completed - only the old parish hall restroom awaits removal. That will happen as soon as the new one is up and running.

The new stairway is in, the old one is gone, and floor joists are being installed in the space where the old one was. Soon the new floor will cover that.

Materials for new walls have been delivered. Their installation begins some time in the next day or two. After much deliberation, the conclusion is that sheet rock is best. It will be installed with proper ventilation to avoid any accumulation of moisture from the brick behind them.

Downstairs, the concrete floor is being evened by an additional skim coat of concrete. It will be finished and sealed once it has cured. Plumbing is almost ready to be enclosed in a chase for which the framework is in place.
