Victorian Kitchen & Bath Remodel Project

Excavation and Foundation Work on the Rowley Victorian Video

Bob joins Tim Berky to hear how the foundation and footing will be handled for the Victorian kitchen and deck addition. The mason is due to arrive the next day to repair the brick face along the exterior of the house and set a 12-inch block topped with 8-inch block shelf along the back to allow for a brick top. The crew will then pour a "rat slab" or filler slab along the bottom. None of the new foundation work will be visible when it is done because of new framing. Berky is pouring three yards of cement for the new footing. Once the mason is finished with the new foundation work, they will remove siding, the roof and doors, cut electricity and plumbing, and the gut the interior of the existing mudroom. The mudroom sill is rotted, so Berky's advice is that it be removed entirely and rebuilt.
