Demo Day Continued!

Well it is really Demo Day 1, Demo Day 2 and Demo Day 3 with a little bit of Demo Day 4. To back up a bit none of these days would have been possible without this!

How exciting to have one of these delivered to your driveway. Uh, maybe you had to be there. So as you know our ever fearless homeowner, Ryan, has decided to tackle this enormous task all by himself. After the first day we went from this-

 

To this-

See that wall, that is the wall that started all of this. To go or not to go? It was unanimous "It Goes". So now what? More on that in a later blogpost.

A work in progress but we are on our way.

Looking through the wall that is coming down after some electrical and tricky plumbing are rerouted.

Ceilings too.

Can't wait till the closet is gone! Do you think it's in the way when you enter?

The easy way to remove lots and lots of underlayment. David giving Ryan some hints.

The foreground of this picture is where the new kitchen is going
 and the rest of the downstairs will all be open to it.

Old kitchen, new dining room with two sets of French doors and big new picture window at the end.
Now you know why we needed a structural engineer.

He is getting there.



One corner where the walls and ceiling aren't coming down.



 

So now you can see the blank canvas that we need so we can create the kitchen and downstairs that this house deserves. Good work Ryan :)  I am going to start looking back at the design process in my next post so you can see how we got to this moment.
