Making Room

[Fluesheet]

Matt, I finally got to see the photos. Y'all did a great job, very professional.

Thanks Gary. Certainly not the size of your project, but it was almost an end unto itself - what started out as work to support the layout became a project that was worth the work by itself.

My original plans had been to bore tunnels through the wall to accommodate turnback loops around that wall. My brother, fresh off a similar project suggested removing the wall. My brother and father have had heavy home renovation experience and my father is also an architect by profession. He was the one that spec'd the steel and generally made sure that the proposed work wouldn't result in the house ending up in the basement. A good crew to have access to.
