Over the past couple of years, we've slowly been tackling the brick work.
Mostly that's just been tuckpointing. The plan was to do on side of the house at a time to manage costs.
This year was the south-facing wall.
It required more than just tuckpointing though. The brick columns between the original kitchen windows in the basement supported the entire south wall at the back of the house. It was time to give them some help.
The help came in the form of some steel support columns which are installed behind the brick columns.
They hold up the new steel support beam which holds up the rest of the wall. The window headers are now purely decorative because the steel is doing all the work.
