Week of 3/09/15 – We have another huge milestone to announce: the new foundation is finished! The Norwood house was lowered off its last jack on Saturday the 7th, just in time to beat another round of showers. Kudos to the crew for pulling this one off. For new visitors, this is truly something to celebrate, as improvements to the foundation required moving the house to the side, demolition of old footings, drilling of about fifteen new piers to bedrock, constructing a new grade beam, then a stem wall, and finally – moving the house back and lowering it into place. A Herculean task! Now we can move on to the more “fun” aspects of stabilization, improvements that will make a real difference in the bungalow’s appearance. Keep an eye out as our ugly duckling starts turning back into a classic 1922 Arts & Crafts swan.
