Demolition Derby

The demolition is well on its way! We've been quite busy and every chance we get we rip apart our first floor. Thanks to the help of our house-mates Stephanie and Spencer and our good friends Nigel and Danielle, we've removed all the trim from doorways and windows, removed 2 walls, remove the plaster from an outside wall, and removed all the old kitchen cabinets. The only demolition task we have left is widening one more doorway on the 1st floor and makig a door in a closet and then cleaning out the basement (which we are doing in a week and a half with the help of several friends). We are very excited to get this stage over with since smashing things and having to protect your face with a mask and goggles in hot humid weather while dust and plaster flies at you can be very tiring and uncomfortable work. Well, enough talk, time for some pictures...




Here Danielle is just gettin started....








and this is a little later...




Here we are after just a few more days...and then Spencer and Steph doing a little more destruction.












And finally, here are some of where we are now...

Looks like you're having a ton of fun with your demolition project! =) Hey, it would be way cool if you put in some kind of secret passageway somewhere in your house, since you already have it all torn apart. I came across this Web site several months ago and they have a lot of interesting solutions, and supposedly their kits aren't terribly expensive.

Keep up the good work with the project and the blog!

Thanks Josh, those look really cool and we're thinking of rigging up a kind of secret passageway door as the entrance to our basement...of course that will have to wait until the rest of the work is done :-)
