Our basement has 6 windows....all in such disrepair that we have new windows on order. We will soon rebuild the sills and replace the windows, vastly improving the look and security of the house.
If you can, look past the dilapidated windows and rotting sills, and take a gander at our new bays!
We excavated approximately 10 inches below ground level. The mason leveled and laid block upon which he laid 4 runs of the original brick ( Remember the chimneys we took down back in May? ) Each corner has been finished with 45 degree angle cuts.
The brick is purposely not pointed, mimicking the foundation on the original house.

| The 3 bays on the south side of the house are so close together that they demanded a different brick configuration. |

| 3 bays on the north side of the house |
We are thrilled with how they have turned out. The use of the old brick makes such a noticeable difference.
