I’ve got some new pictures from the basement. There was a post in the middle of the floor that held up the center beam. The post was in the middle of what I want to become my TV room, so I decided it had to go. In order to accomplish this, I needed to pour a new footing, and put in two new posts and replace the beam with a larger, stronger beam.
This is the footing and the new post.
This is the new beam with the old post now removed.
I then needed to jackhammer up the floor to add sewer pipe to what will become my new bathroom. I had this done by Johanson Plumbing.
Here is the floor after the pipes have been laid and cemented over.
During this time, my tub which I had ordered a little while earlier arrived. I wanted a big tub, one that I would fit well in. So I got the 72” version. I have to say, it is a pretty tub.
This is the tub.
