As partners in MastersTouch Construction one of our projects is the McDonald Mansion.
I am Project Manager for the major renovation of the McDonald Mansion. This historical rehabilitation first started with demolition of portions of the existing structure including two non-original additions which housed the kitchen and Master Bath. In addition there was the removal of basement concrete slabs by hand and power equipment (see picture below), removal of the inadequate original 1878 brownish red clay brick foundation along with excavation of dirt for a deeper and enlarged basement. At the same time this demolition was being done, the installation of shoring and bracing to support the house, because we were taking out what held up the house.
Yes, you can find a small and powerful enough piece of equipment to fit under a house to do demolition.
Kind of creepy to be under the house, while supported on "stilts" and thinking about earthquakes.
Son #2 in college, in graphic communications says I should use a more up to date font. Wait until the next post.
Enjoy your surrounding,
McDonald Mansion Mart
