It is rough to be at work and have to work late and not know what I am going to come home to. I have spent some time working at home in the morning so that I can keep an eye on them. Being home for demolition is not the best idea... I just don't want to know whats going on at this point. Sometimes I think they are trying to take the whole house down. I am just happy my neighbor is away on a long vacation. She works from home and would be going insane right now.
Let's just get into it...
A good start. The room feels MUCH bigger without the fixtures.
I know... 90 years of shit... literally.
I can now wash my hands when I pick the last of my tomatoes.
This was just before I headed to work on the first day of Demo.
I found out there was no insulation on the exterior wall. Unfortunately no room to accommodate it anyway.
I'm not sure how water ever got through this.
Just before heading to work.
At least they tried to cover the living room.
This is the pile when I got home last night. How did all of this come out of that little room?
Pile doubled in size after day two.
The VERY old vent stack up through the roof. We are going to cut this out and put in all new.
The floor is another story. These joists have taken a beating over time. Some pretty large pipe holes cut out. Not feeling too good about that, but there is not a lot I can do unless I open up the whole floor and try to sister in new joists.
And yes... if you look carefully you can now see the Range in my kitchen below...
The wall between my kitchen and dining room. Not too bad, but the hole has to get bigger. We are replacing all of the risers down to the new work in the basement.
And then I discovered they had to remove most of the ceiling in my kitchen...
I have to leave for Chicago for a week for work on the 15th. I'm not sure this is going to get done by then. No turning back now.
