The storefront remained the theme of work this week.
More concrete was poured as a footer because the original footer was about 4 feet too short. Now the wall for my entrance stairs can be framed out and structural members anchored.
In the photo, David and Brian "Merg" are attaching the storefront cross-beam that will be used to affix the storefront material. This created some minor challenges. One, brick was removed to anchor the beam into the supporting walls. How do you match 100 year old brick during replacement? Two, now walls that were interior will be exterior in the entrance ways. How do I finish the surface to make it appropriate for exterior exposure while astetically tying into the interior wall surfaces?
More on these later.
