The foundation is underway. The front of the house will have a traditional crawl space to match the existing house. The electrical panel is located inside the portion of the house that is being demolished. This will require some strategic demolition on our part so we can maintain power in the house during construction. The back will have an elevated concrete slab that will eventually have radiant heating pipes. In order to maintain ventilation under the existing crawl space we have located several pvc pipes under the concrete slab that connect to foundation vents at the perimeter. We drilled several test holes through the existing wall to make sure the new concrete floor lines up with the existing wood floor. Keep your fingers crossed.....
