Beginning of Attic Project

Dave is working on converting the attic into a usable room. The first task was to remove an old chimney that no longer exists on the main floor, but was still in the attic. The bricks came out easily, but the concrete blocks were heavy! Dave rigged a pulley system in the rafters to get them safely down.


First, we borrowed a ladder.

Dave was very pleased with his 6-to-1 pulley that he rigged with our climbing gear.

Four concrete blocks safely on the ground. Two more to go!
