Along the southeast edge of the foundation, which cuts into the hill that extends up to the elementary school, water seepage in the thaw of 2014 destroyed the carpet in two rooms, forcing a retreat from that section of the basement. My downstairs tenant cheerfully accepted the move to one of the spare rooms on the upper level. With no furniture in the way any longer, I ripped out the carpet and hired a demolition crew to unbuild the cabinetry along the southeast walls, saving for later use any knotty pine paneling that could be removed non-destructively. After the demolition crew cleared away the cabinetry, a team of waterproofing specialists came in to install a French drain around the affected edge of the foundation. My subsequent work constructing the partition wall would use only half of the original knotty pine paneling, leaving plenty of scraps to make raised beds for gardening or bonfires for wintertime warmth.
