Aaron's 76 Type LT Project

2 minute(s) of a 383 minute read

We signed the contract with the GC last Thursday, so now we wait to get things started. We should see some activity in the next 1-2 weeks. There will be some framing work required so that will be the first phase of work. The Camaro garage will be jam packed with boxes so no work will happen until 2018  She isn't going anywhere.

We got our house remediated for NINE days total with fans and commercial dehumidifiers (3 days and another 6). But it gives us good peace of mind that our house is dry and ready for rebuilding. Some neighbors didn't get ANY remediation done, which is crazy. I walked around last night with my daughter and some homes already have drywall and texture up. I hope they don't regret that later.

Here are some pics of our other project, the house rebuild. Drywall should begin soon. The GC is conservative about insulating and drywalling until the moisture levels are below a certain threshold (14%). They said some isolated spots are around that level, which they can address by replacing materials. Some people's homes are done, which is kind of wild since I am pretty sure very few people got remediation.

Here's some recent pics of the house

New living room layout. We removed the corner fireplace to make more room.

We added an AV cabinet in the adjacent utility room to place the AV receiver, cable box, etc. That will keep stuff nice and hidden.
