6.(d) Continued- Mr. Wiggins noted that the overall change would make this a much better job. Mr. Robinson asked if this replacement of the foundation means a base- ment wall and Mr. Johnson said that we are talking about the founda- tion that supports the front porch - a cement block foundation. My. Robinson: In other words, it (the porch) didn't have a proper footer under it when they did it - Mr. Johnson said that was true and they are now going to put a concrete porch in its place. Mr. Wiggins moved for approval of the change order as outlined, motion seconded by Mr. Robinson and carried. e. C #4, 1345 Dunham Street, deletion of "renail porch ceiling" and add (1) tear out old ceiling, front porch, replace with plywood; (2) tear Out flooring in utility room and install support beam with 2 jacks, install new subflooring with trap door; (3) install insulation in utility r om (crawl space walls); and (4) build up wall in shower area of bath- room (west wall) including ambitibi on both sides of wall ", for a total n t increase in contract price of $1,290.00. My. Robinson asked Mr. Johnson if he had done a spot check on some of t ese things. Mr. Johnson: If you are referring to this one -I viewed it personally. Mrs. Wiggins: How did they miss it? My. James Harcus: Actually, I wouldn't say they missed it. The house is ir a very congested area with a lot of debris and the inspector had to r move a lot of material while he was making the inspection in the back of the house - because of these obstacles, the items were not initially o served. My. Cira asked if there was tile on the shower stall walls and why they want to build up the walls. My. Harcus: When you take a very close look at the bottom of the sheath - i g, you will find a quarter inch space between the cement floor of t e shower and the sheathing so that when someone takes a shower, water accumulates in the basement. You would have had to go over every s uare inch to have caught that (space) at the base. We are really talking about a different type of dwelling than most of us have ever s en in our lives and it is good that we have this program to go in and r pair that area, the homes of these helpless people. Dan Caesar: What is the cost of the wall board to be used and how many pieces will they need? Mr. Johnson: It will probably take two 4 x 8 sheets, one on each side of t e wall and the wall will then be sealed, I don't know the cost per sheet. D. Caesar: You don't know the cost of the wall board or how much the labor will be? - 7 -
