" Right and I are converting. The house back into a single family and this is the last apartment in the house that's going to be brought back to to the news -- house. You can see here that we have a lot of space in the third floor here here we have the kitchen and the bathroom. We intend on taking these two walls out. Opening up this space we're going to break through this wall over here into this funky turret space that has never been opened it never been opened up never finished."

" In there we're gonna put weld who top. And make it kind of like a cozy area."

" You can see here that we've got a gambrel roof line as well and it's important that we keep. For the exterior. So in order to do that we need to we support the the roof since we're going to be opening up here. And then to top it all off when -- remove all of the asphalt shingles on the outside and replace it with a funky new product. But we're."

" Part of the demolition is accomplished all the plaster -- is -- here in your kitchen and bathroom fixtures in the dumpster right now we can look at the raw space with architect Mary Brewster hi Eric Anthony and Lorenzo -- who is the structural consultant precht correct. What do you think so far."

" It's a delight to see the space opened up we've spent a while working by measurement and working on paper now we get to see the three dimensional space them how that turret relates to this. And I can start envisioning how. It will all be when it's opened up very any surprises. Well we have to surprise you one good and not so good the -- under the vent stack right in the way of our structure. But the good thing is that we have a plate back here at double plate that we didn't anticipate having with them. Help our structure."

" Now the big problem with taking out those things like roof rafters and collar ties is that your roof could collapse right. Exactly now the -- that I what are you doing here what are you solvent well what we're going to do to clean the space up is create two bent beams. On either side of the turret. There's a cross section and the bent beam comes from the plate over to the other plate I see is there's the tourist. And we're going to be essentially. Opening it all up into this room space and have a connecting group. A cricket right exactly a connecting cricket roof there so you're talking about the bent beam going from where to where. From this plate here yes that Mary just pointed to hear it let me. OK. Great so I guess Ernie potter can get started removing some of the costs."

" Well Ernie the turret roof is undisturbed but just about everything else has been demolished here what have you done what's we're told us about -- had to do is -- These rafters temporarily so that. You can cut away these new walls were back here so you've cut these two by six is in very carefully because they're carrying the load even though it's temporary that's right OK and as soon as we get the steel work done here will be able removed is open this all up. Have a nice big open space for the homeowners going to be beautiful let's talk about the steel over in this corner. David -- in south county steel David what kind of steel is it that we're using here the this shape is WT section. It's actually cut from a wide flange mean and it's going to act as the foundation and connection point that this is like half of an I beam. Yes that's right IG OK how much of that -- This is 24 pounds per Linear -- so this piece right here weighs a little over 200 pounds. And essentially it's being put in place for what purpose. It's acting as a connection point for the steel that's going to be welded to it next week. I'm also as a foundation to the bond the steel. -- structure base plate for that -- right and you're just be lagging interest. Right -- drilled the holes in the field Rockingham site. And lag but lag bolts lagging into the wood. What do you do into the floor system in here so we're doing over here is that we're sistering up all these floor joists -- LVLs. To help support it. Laminated veneer lumber from mr. Reynolds paper. And these are engineered wood products which will. Be much stronger than the dimensional lumber that was here in the first place that's correct but we leave the original dimensional lumber and we add the LVLs. Onto the site -- each one. And this is an Bob what it was later subcontractors right and Melrose construction. Great now you're -- guys from Melrose are doing all the framing for the job right yes so that's a subcontinent a -- All right so Bob is the traditional us sixteen penny spike. Every foot or so it just to put on the print calls for six to a piece. What does that mean for reveal real reporter Aaron twelve footer they want six nails minimum. So -- two feet but staggered yes staggered towards the top and towards the bottom yes all right. All this laminated veneer lumber looks like it might be overkill for structural reasons but. The fact is it is an exercise space you're gonna have a lot of heavy equipment up here in people jumping up and down even a whirlpool tub and now the underlayment product is a southern yellow pine plywood from Marco. Which. Is really nice because the the nail up face doesn't have any. The core voids you know little football shaped inserts so that when you go to put a vinyl floor or any other kind of flooring product get a real nice food. Face now before you install it. You put a bead down of we're gonna put a bead of adhesive out blog reluctance it. Try to get these are just about every joist. All right and then of course the nail that is going to paint. Do you remember okay."
