Phinney Ridge Remodel, design by Tyler Engle Architect

This Phinney Ridge Residence had already under gone at least 6 remodels, the largest was a 3rd story master bedroom and bathroom.

MLWgc remodeled the main floor by completing removing all of interior framing and the interior surfaces. The floor had a 2 1/2 inch slope from front to back which we leveled with sleepers and new subfloor. While the floor framing was open the HVAC duct work was moved per the new plan. We reframed the exterior for new windows and doors, leveled and strengthened the ceiling framing. New electrical and plumbing finished the rough.
Finish work included a crown molding, back banded casing and new 6 inch wide solid oak floor.

Clifford-Bush Residence, design by workshop ab2c

 

Built about 1908, this residence was built partially over a filled in pond . As a result the SE corner settled 4-5 inches early after the build. The new owners decided to repair this, but also to add 14.5 inches, 2 steps worth of rises allowing more head room in the daylight basement. In this shot the old vinyl siding is removed and a repair attempt of the cedar shingles is on going. Also the belly bands are off the house.

Around the walls we see the concrete captured pin pile heads , 1/2 steel plate wall reinforcing, new foundation wall topper and blockouts for new future daylight windows.All the electrical, water, sewer, and gas lines aremoved and disconnected.
More of the excellent finish crew, thank you Eric Moultan
This concrete pour is where the houser lifting I beams came out after settling the house down, there are 4 of these

Threaded rod epoxied into the top of the existing foundation
90 lb Jack hammer driving 2 inch pin piles to refusal down the new centerline footing

All of the window sill tails were removed for the vinyl siding, metal sill covers were fabricated allowing sill extensions to be added.
Here we the vapor permeable house wrap with new window sill covers and new window preprainted casing applied on the second floor windows. the entry roof is getting replacement dentils applied.
The test salvage of the old shingles did not pass. Here we see part of the process of removal of the siding.
Part of the excellent crew on a very complicated project, Thanks Craig Baldwin!

Since the building was to raised an assessment of the fireplace showed it was not structurally sound, so it was removed.
