Meanwhile, back at the day job...

Printing off another round of photos of the pigeon loft project, stuff that shows up after interior demolition. Cute things like structural window frames and floor joists with about 1/2" bearing on the brick shelf and main carrying beams with scarf joints offset from the columns. And columns supported on structural plank walls on the next floor down.

Contractor and I have decided that the building was constructed from spare parts. That center beam, for example -- it shows axe marks, rough-hewn, rather than saw cuts. That kind of work predates the construction by several decades.

Oh, and they had a fire at some point, and just plastered over the damaged structural members.

I wonder how much "contingency" the owner allowed in his budget...
