Its really funny. This image almost seems surreal. We are actually starting this. What you are seeing is a dumpster that is ready to be filled with the guts of this house. It took a little wrangling, but we figured out how to get it right up against the back of the house to make life easier on the demolition workers. Amazingly, the estimate is that we will fill 4 dumpsters like this while gutting the house, and that doesnt include the concrete from the floor of the basement. That's a lotta stuff.
Here is a before shot of the master bedroom area before we started the process......
And here is the beginning of the work that is starting on the house. I have to say that I assumed the process would move more swiftly then it did on Friday. Now, I have no idea how many people were here, or how long they worked, but they basically were able to get the drywall off all of the master bedroom / bathroom.
As you can see, they took out two of the windows so they could throw the refuse down to the dumpster. Its interesting what you find in the walls. The windows that are framed out on the left side were not currently being utilized in the most recent revision of the room. It also looks as though the windows on the back wall used to be larger as well. Also, its clear that there was plaster on these walls before as well with the wood slats that are on the walls. Suffice it to say that it will be quite interesting to see what we find in the walls / floors of this house while we are tearing it apart.
