Cutting the brick, getting ready for repairs! We had a busy day today. The back of the building is in need of a lot of work after removing the old addition which was in very bad shape. The brick needed to be cut so we can prepare for repairs to the brick and the new steel siding.
The lower portion is the front of the Commercial Space, the upper portion is an Apartment.
This is the entrance to the Commercial Space
There was an addition removed from the back and a lot of brick repair work needed.
As you can see we have already started replacing the old rotten fascia and soffit. You can see the new fascia board and look outs added to give strength to the roof eave.
There were no steel lintels installed over openings and as you can see there is cracking.
The patio door will be removed here as structural repairs to the triple brick wall over the patio door are necessary due to the condition of the brick.
