Per the guys doing the demo, we are more then halfway through the interior demolition. Its amazing how small the house looks with nothing but wall supports. Hopefully it will make the house seem bigger again when we put it all back together. I am already starting to see where the design changes are going to come from now that I am able to visualize this space in a much more realistic perspective. For instance, I am not sure we are going to be able to do the master bath the way we want to. It might have to be tweaked.
The aftermath isnt pretty. I know its more responsible to rehab a house then to build a new one, but we are going to end up filling 5-6 of these dumpsters through the process. Its unavoidable, but its a LOT of refuse. Amazing to think how much more it would be if we tore this whole house down, then built another from scratch.....eeek.
This is a closeup of the steel beam that ended up being in the ceiling of the first floor. We weren't 100% sure which way this was going to go as the support wasn't obvious. The great news about this is that the ability to set the new laminated support system partially into the ceiling joists is 100%, there, and that will allow us to do more simple design with the ceiling.
