Yesterday, we began 2 long awaited demolition projects. 1. The backhouse. 2. The ceiling in the Addition. In these cases, pictures are worth thousands of words.
Before with Johnnie’s tools of choice. (He is my demo guy for the job.)
Before – view from the back door.
By lunch time, there was obvious progress.
End of the day. (Take note of the wood and metal being salvaged on the right. Unfortunately, there isn’t much else to be recycled or reused due to the termites and poor condition of the structure.)
Johnnie taking off for the day . . .
. . . so Sara decided to try out the bobcat.
————————————————————————————————————————————–
Before – we hung plastic to contain the dust.
Before – attic access.
By the end of the day, 2/3 of the drywall ceiling was removed! It makes the space feel so much bigger – and much less debbie downer!
Cheers to all my DIY friends -
Sarah

Hooray!! Geez… that’s a lot of progress in one day! Hope you slept till noon the day after.
How was removing the dry wall? Seems like it would’ve either been easy or awful. Yay for triceps and ladders.
