Labor Day Weekend - Truly Laborious
(Click on picture for larger view. It will open in new window.)

Not so many pictures today as lots of the work involved things that don't look
so dramatic. They had to take off the furring strips and bust loose lots of
plaster to get access to where the new beams will go. They put one of the new
beams up to see how things would go. Vent stack pipes had to be moved, and they
discussed how to move electical wiring with the least disruption to household
needs - you can see there are lots of electrical conduit that will have to go
through the new beams. Notice in today's last picture that they cleaned up too.

Today, there was time spent on cleaning out the debri that accumulates in an
attic. Plus more measuring. The afternoon got interupted when Dave and Sam had
to go secure a school that had been broken into. But before stopping for the
day, they got the first beam cut to size and fitted in.
