House Remodel Underway

A group of volunteers met with Peter Belschwender Saturday to begin the remodeling project for Liz Ann's home. Work on the project will continue this Saturday. Contact Peter if you are inclined to pitch in and help. PeterBelschwender@onsitemangagement.com

LizAnn wrote in an e-mail today, "A big gigantic thank you to all. I am filled with love and gratitude."

Peter wrote the following project update:

"Thanks so much to everyone who helped out this past Saturday. We did get more done than I had hoped for!

Tammy, Barb and I did speak with Liz Ann on Sunday and there are a couple of headlines concerning the project and schedule.

First, we will be site constructing the Ramp at the house and not buying a premade all steel ramp, so I’ll be getting materials organized this week and we will want to be getting after that this weekend, assuming we have the go ahead from city planning.

Second, we will be waiting to close up any of the walls with drywall until Liz Ann reviews the project on the 14th or 15th. This means that we will be focusing on rerouting plumbing and electrical along with continuing to rough frame these next two weeks.

For this next Saturday the following should be happening at the house:

1. Ramp – dig for landing slab, pour concrete landing, frame upper ramp and landing, layout and start framing lower ramp, possibly start on railing.
2. Demo cast iron waste and vent pipe, reroute plumbing under bath, rough in washer supply and waste, rough in dryer vent, rough in new shower fixture.
3. Stain new doors, paint closet shelving.
4. Set door jambs and continue work on the Washer / Dryer / door to bedroom area.

Also, if there is any one in the crowd or if anyone knows of someone willing to look at the following, please let me know:
1. Refinishing the oak entry floor.
2. Laying linoleum, marmoleum, or laminate flooring in the Kitchen, Bedroom and possibly the Bathroom.


That is it for now. Hope to see you Saturday, Peter"
