Welcome to the start of our basement remodel 🙌🏼

It took a lot of time and effort cleaning and purging just to get to the “before” photo (swipe ⬅️).
✔️Attic insulation to make a storage space for all our former basement items.
✔️ Digging out the basement perimeter to install proper drainage.
✔️ Sanding and leveling the concrete floors.
✔️ Insulating the concrete walls to prevent moisture.

All of that just to get us to this “after” photo taken today where we are half way done with framing. 😳

Wish us luck. Hope you all enjoy the updates to come!

Meet the newest member of the team. Often times inspectors cannot access the roof because it is too steep, comprised of a material which could be damaged, or otherwise inherently unsafe. Many inspectors will simply view the roof from a ladder, or with binoculars from the ground. While there is no substitute for actually walking the roof, the drone is an extremely useful tool when walking is not an option.

Lots of here HQ. There are a couple of different methods when creating your concrete counters. The pour in place method (pictured in the kitchen space) takes some framing skills but results in beautiful, and seamless, counters. The other method, which I prefer, is to frame and pour the concrete outside the space, then move the concrete slabs into place and secure to the cabinetry. This method is less messy and can result in a really nice finished piece. The downside of pouring outside the space is having to move the heavy pieces into place, and joining the seams between each piece can be temperamental. Swipe left for variations (not pictured is the beginning stages of pour outside method).

Good bones in ! This house built in 1890 was inspected by last week. Old Town in Tacoma was officially incorporated in 1873. ‘New Tacoma’ where this home is located, and now called Downtown, was incorporated later and merged with Old Town in 1884... only six years before this home was built! Congrats to the buyers and shout out to for being a great agent to work with!

It was a busy week . As an inspector, I get to see many aspects of a home that the owners often never see. Trusting Noble Fir to thoroughly inspect all systems of the home is an important undertaking, and something I never underestimate. Thanks to all our clients, partners, and friends for choosing me to perform your inspections!

When the stay at home order happened last spring, we took advantage of some increased time around the house. Refinishing floors, walls, the original doors, and adding new lighting, storage space, and concrete countertops in the upstairs hallway will help pass the time. Swipe ⬅️ for the original.

This Olympia area home was inspected by last week. The home was built in 2002 and originally on a septic system. Years later the city installed a sewer system in the area. As an inspector you don’t often see a ‘step system’ but this particular house had one. It is a combination of septic and public sewer. Meaning the building drains into its septic tank, and instead of utilizing a drain field on the backend, it utilizes a public sewer system.

This is one of the most contrastive photos from a bathroom project a few years back here in Tacoma. Sometimes it’s hard to figure out what to do with a space until after the demo is complete. I wasn’t quite able to imagine the placement of this DIY vanity until the old closet space was removed. The coolest part about this project was refinishing the old concrete washtub which we found in the basement when we moved in. Swipe left for the original.
