harv Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Don't want to clutter up my 229 build thread so I'll start here. The new subflooring is in. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 But now we have electrical probes and since we are going that far and need drywall so why not do the ceiling ! So, this where we are now.....harv 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Did they ever find the source of the leak? Steve 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 No Steve. Looks like a long-ago leak. Floors dry and still looks "wet". So we are good to go on the floor......harv 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Just a tip, look up and check the pipes before they get the ceiling on. At my Daughters' house, the original Builder cheaped out on the plumbing and instead of all copper piping installed PVC for the cold water. At some point, either a Rat or Possum got inside the roof cavity and gnawed through the plastic. Daughter #1 came home from work, and thought Daughter #2 had shaken up a Pepsi bottle as she described it, there was a brown patch on the ceiling with little drops formed. 15 minutes later... Water had filled the cavity above the shower over the day, the brown she saw was the colour leeching out of the beams. $8000 damage! So yeah, make sure you check ALL those pipes before you seal it up. S 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 We are good to go for that. All the plumbing is under the house in the crawl space. No concrete........harv 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 What no concrete......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 He meant , concrete slab, There are only foundation walls along the perimeter of the house, possibly at load-bearing points. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the crawl space is almost nonexistent as the back of our house where the kitchen is is 13 inches lower than the front. And being in the middle of a group of row houses, we're not fixing it any time soon. At least we were able to move our pipes out from under the floor into the kitchen so they don't freeze in winter. What you get when you buy a 125 year old house. Carl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Our pipes don't freeze but I have to put a 100 watt bulb in the pump house to keep the well pipes from freezing....harv 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 from here, this looks like it is moving along rather quickly, BUT when you are waiting for it to be finished on the front line, I bet it feels like it is taking FOREVER !!
