Today we (not me) headed upstairs to begin the demo work on the second floor. Why today? Because we were lucky enough to get a rain day and therefore, had some VERY hard-working young men come help us out. A big thanks to Adam, Trevor and Zach Checkal!!!!! They saved me SO much work!!!! You'll see a picture of them below, but you'll need to scroll down quite a ways because it's a real hassle to move pictures around and it's time for me to go to bed. So.... not much commentary on these pics, but at least you'll get a glimpse of what's going on!!!
So the demo begins....
 |
| First you need a dumpster. |
 |
| A dumpster that's delivered by the Checkal's courtesy of Mikey's Landscaping |
 |
| Claw-foot tub was on the left. |
 |
| The first exposed brick on the second floor! And the black marks would be glue for the lovely panelling that was removed! |
 |
| No more bathroom and closet! We can now see from the back door all the way to the front! |
 |
| Chimney is dwindling because Dale has been removing the bricks and taking them down to the main floor so that Craig can rebuild the window openings. |
 |
| And this would be Craig. He does some amazing work! |
 |
| This was a kitchen. |
 |
| Half-wall. Now you see it. |
 |
| Now you don't. |
 |
| These are the best guys EVER! Boy can they do a lot of damage in a short amount of time!!! |
 |
| Forget removing sinks and toilets.... Dale just took a maul to them! Both removed in under 30 seconds! |
