The other major project this week was installing a door for our new rear entrance (replacing the existing window). This is one of the few projects we've sub'ed out as it involved cutting through 13 inches of brick wall that opens out to a five foot drop. Mike Kisner, resident of Boonsboro, was our contractor and did a great job. The saw we rented for the job was so incredibly heavy, I'm amazed that it was even possible to make a straight line through that much brick.
The finished product will offer a rear entrance from our off-street parking behind our building and will open onto a huge deck. That project will be waiting on warmer/dryer weather, though!
Kevin got into the swing of things, and with a few useful tips from Mike (and a new tool to cut the groove for the saw to follow), he had his hand with the brick-cutting saw as well.
The poncho is needed because those saws require water to keep cool (and also helps keep down the dust). It looked like the Ammityville Horror movie after he was done cutting the wider opening for our bathroom, with all the red brick dust mixing with the water and sprayed over everything! Luckily all fingers and toes were accounted for.
A lot more changes are coming, so continue looking back for more updates and feel free to stop by the new store at 146 S. Main St in Boonsboro to see for yourself. We're there rather randomly during the week, but almost all hours on Friday and Saturday.
