I figured it was about time I put up a post from town. Work has been going about as good as a remodel/retrofit can go. A lot of work had already been done to Pam's basement this summer so I am there to do the finishing touches and get it sealed up for winter. Some of the work I have been doing includes repairing and replacing parts of walls, rotten from water damage, also repairing some walls that were not built properly in the first place. All of this work will eventually lead to hanging drywall, which will be the tail end of my involvement in the remodel.
Most of the work I have been doing is all located in the basement of a log cabin house, which was constructed of cinder block into a hill side. I took a picture from the driveway to give you an idea what it looks like. Originally the basement walls were just the concrete block but now on the inside it has two separate 2X4 walls filled with foam and fiberglass insulation. Once I have the electrical work done and the vapor barrier applied, the walls will be covered with Sheetrock to finish it off.
Pam's house is located out of Fairbanks several miles up on a hill side. From the kitchen on the main level and the laundry in the basement (on a good day) you can clearly see Denali and the Alaska range! I took a picture from the deck, on the mail level, of the Tanana Valley and way off in the distance the Alaska range.
I have taken some photos of the work that I have been doing but I don't think they will translate very well. I am having a hard time myself determining up and down in some of the pics.
