Hard to tell, but it looks like the clean up guy got a little rambunctious on the plaster keys for the opposite side of the wall. :smash:

Plumbing is done for the new bathroom, kitchen re roughed in

We dropped the ceilings to cover the plumbing and remove the hideous ac bulkhead running down the middle of the living room and kitchen. one side will be a tray ceiling over the dining room table.

Looks good. Great idea with the panned ceiling. Are you/they going to re-point and seal the brick in the entry?

No re-pointing its not too bad.. Acid wash and seal it

[nEighter]

like that entryway. Is this what you normally do? Use the metal studs for res?

Your CSST pipe doesn't look like it will pass. It can't be installed within 2" of any continuous metal--ducts, wires, pipes, steel framing, etc.

It will when it gets strapped up.. It is going all the way to the attic for the ac unit. the HVAC guy has to tell us where he needs it to go then we will strap it up.. It may go in the room behind that wall.

Usually for light framing or what I call design framing.. We use it a lot in basements to..

Word to your mother. :2thumbsup:

We have 3 more ward flex lines to run. One for the stove, tankless water heater and a future fireplace.. All of those will come from the basement through the floors.

We have to frame out down there next week.. I will take some pics of the attic and basement later today

[nEighter]

I love pics man! Good stuff. How long does it take to get paid on these 203K projects?

[Eieio]

We are starting to Demo out the basement.. The Plumber had to do some Ground work so we could close in the Floors above

Is that a bit of fire damage down there? An old coal furnace?

[orson]

Rory can you point out the pros/cons of using steel framing vs. wood on these types of projects?

I've done some light and heavy guage steel framing on commercial projects(along with a lot of cursing) but I never really considered it for residential remodeling.

Yep old coal furnace, The duct work was still intact. I will try to remember to take some pics.. The old duct work is amazingly still will intact

Speed of framing and that was done by one guy in 5 hours.. We use metal studs in basement framing 90% of the time as well..

Owen, don't forget how much straighter the wall is and there is no need to check for the crown. If I could get them around here, I would be using them.

[Eieio]

We are wrapping up the Bathroom and Kitchen this week. waiting for the shower door and paint selection..
