Let the Demolition Begin!

We have lift off!  After a few week delay getting work started work has begun.  They started demolition on the 3rd floor and the roofers came in to fix the may-jah roof leak that had been active for over 2 years. 

Standing on the stairs looking up at the 3rd floor ceiling.

Our HVAC guy, who happens to be a family friend, called me and said, "Breezy, have you seen your house lately?"  I said that I hadn't.  He then said, "Don't go there.  Don't go in the house.  It looks like it was bombed."  He wasn't kidding.  As I went further up the stairs I was amazed.  The walls were all gone on the 3rd floor.  There was no more stained, cracked, or wall papered plaster.  We had just bare studs and knob and tube wiring left.  And soon there would not even be that.  Here are the pictures that I took before and after the demo in the rooms on the 3rd floor.

Next post will be all about the whole in the earth that used to be our kitchen.  I promise to include more about the rebuilding process of the kitchen.
