Full Demo Goes

It was a rainy morning today and Drew arrived saying that with the rain he was not sure how many guys would show up for the demo and that they would probably just work on the inside. As i sat reading the paper i hear a 'boom' and walk back to see the nice hold in the wall between the two rooms.  He wanted to make sure that when they sealed off the door they would be able to get to the other room.  The wall was little more than a thin fiberboard.

The 2x4 in the wall is a beautiful tight grained fir.  Pains me to see this stuff go to the landfill.  The windows are being salvaged as will the light fixtures and metal.  

When i returned home this evening i was shocked to see just how much they got done! 

All that is left is floor, roof, and framing. The giant roll-off conta

iner is full.  Plywood now covers the door to the basement and two doorway that open in to the kitchen.  Later i'll be putting boards over the window into the pantry.  

Most of the wood is in bad shape.

 Lots of rot. Does not look like we can save any of the old cedar shingles.  I picked though the roll-

off and all the boards are brittle and cracked.  Figure they've been drying for nearly 100-years.  I can only imagine how well the roll-off would burn right now. 

They uncovered the old flooring.  Crazy black and red and yellow tile.  I'm guessing it is 1930's style
