Wall Repair Vol. 1



These are pictures of a wall in the hallway leading from the first floor foyer to the rear rooms. There were significant cracks in the wall and a long area in which the plaster had fallen off (or been destroyed by tenant and friends). The plaster is now 90% repaired. The area still needs a little attention on the corner, but the holes and cracks are gone.

Gravel Parking

We now have a gravel area to park and a temporary wooden walkway to the back of the house. We no longer have to slosh through the mud to get to the house.

Post #59 - Contractor Update

This past week the HVAC sub started working on the heating and air systems. Holes for the registers and return air duct work have been cut in the floor for the first floor system and the ceiling for the second floor system.



The wiring for the second floor thermostat has been run from the wall in the second floor hallway wall up into the attic where the second floor heating and air system will be located. This is the first new wiring put in the house.



This coming week the HVAC sub is supposed to continue working on the house and hopefully we'll have heat within a week or so. The electrician is supposed to upgrade the service and start running wire to the various rooms in the house.

What's that noise?

If you're in the metro Lexington area and hear a loud vacuum sounding noise don't be alarmed. It's just the "Money Pit" starting to suck up some major cash. The contractor and several subs started working at the house today. The electrical service is being upgraded to a 400 amp service and the HVAC sub is starting on the downstairs heating system.
