E17 | First Period Gambrel | Prep-Work

Season 44 Episode 17

Excavation has begun for the foundation for the two-story addition off the opposite side of the ell. A post and beam system supports the house so the existing foundation can be removed to open the old basement up to the new. A plan is devised to raise the timber frame in the ell. An old cistern uncovered under the ell is examined. Drainage issues are addressed. A book from 1826 found during demo.
