I dug down five feet and poured three footers. I then repaired the concrete, installed a new ledger board and built a properly supported and spaced floor.
Then I exposed the original brick wall which was behind a two inch thick layer of concrete. I had to chip off the concrete, wash the brick with three consecutive acid washes, then apply two layers of brick sealant. After repairing the morter, the original brick (which was layed in 1907) looked great. I also created a new window frame out of cedar.
I removed all of the old lathe and plaster walls (about 600 sq. ft.), reframed, and drywalled; applying two coats of mud creating a flawless flat finish. I installed two new interior doors then handed the job over to a subcontracted painting and flooring crew.
