The contractors are done. Whew.
A couple more pictures (pillar and third floor floor). And the furniture contines to ebb and flow.

So the old deteriorating bricks support column, was that replaced with the cement one or the lally? (What was the lally support column before?)

And now that I know what rotten bricks look like... I'm starting to worry about our chimney!

But wow. I'm impressed!

The old column that is pictured is the one that got coated with cement. The column that was replaced with the lally looked like that one, but worse (the deterioration went all the way down to the ground, and into the center). But I don't have a picture of it 'cause I forgot to start taking these pictures until after their first day. :)

(The fact that the bricks had crumbled some wasn't the disturbing part - that the bricks were still crumbly, so that you could scoop them out with your fingers was distressing!)
