After talking about doing this since we bought the house exactly 10 years ago, we finally got our two egress windows put in the basement.
Rodney taking off the drywall.
Rodney cutting the inside basement wall. Boy was it DUSTY! The saw is a special inside saw with a vacuum attachment to avoid being so dusty, but it didn't seem to work too well. Glad we put up a barrier so all the dust stayed somewhat contained to the work area.
A couple of co-workers helped out. Here is one digging out the side of the house so they could cut the outside basement wall.
Daylight!
The forms are set for the concrete window wells to be poured.
Pouring the walls.
Isn't the ground suppose to be frozen this time of year?! UGH!!
The somewhat finished look on the outside. Notice the long patch of dirt heading out to the road? Rodney had the company bring in a dump truck to haul away a lot of the dirt. Once they were done loading the dirt, it was sooo overloaded, the truck was majorly stuck! Took some time to get it out and talk about ruts and a mess! They didn't do too bad of a job filling in and smoothing out the yard though.
Once we get the basement walls finished (drywall, mud/sanded and painted), I will post a before and after pic. Glad this project is almost done!
