Demo started today!
Comments (0)Today was the beginning, we accomplished a lot today. Opening it up completely. https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A4532ODWw75Mt...See MoreDemo was today!!
Comments (5)I can see that the LAST thing to be will be the kitchen.....but that's OK. Our house is in pretty good shape considering what went on here. I guess these were some reasonably high -class druggies(!). Susannes1- I HOPE that our neighbors will say thatabout our place in a few months!! Today, the old wire and scrubby tree fence line gets bulldosed out, which will really spiff the place up without doing another thing...... Yesterday, they took down a huge tree in the backyard that had been dead for YEARS, wonder it did not fall on the house! One of the guys working on the house got shoT by the original owner(the estate from whom we bought the house), and he says the guy was the biggest gambler and drug dealer in the state of Kentucky. We are trying to figure out what the sign on the gate should say to let people know he is not here!! Nancy...See MoreWho else has demo today?
Comments (12)We started in earnest on Saturday, taking two walls partially down. Gutted, it already looks better with the 360 views out our windows. In addition to crawling over boxes and cloaked furniture everywhere, yesterday's tear out involved our soffits and ceiling - tons of insulation floating all over the house despite sheeting. DH fell through a part of our ceiling, popping a hole in a section we weren't expecting to resurface...actually very funny since no one got hurt. No surprises (like the reading material and refreshments found by some :), other than a dormant wasp hive. We are down to bare bones now...a nice 30 degree breeze wafted through the house last night. Electrician arrives today. Despite the mess, this part is actually fun. DH is our contractor's 'helper' ... They seem to work well together (other than the ceiling mishap!). Good luck to all the other demos going on this week. Will post pictures soon....See MoreWell, wouldn't you know it.....Demo Started Today
Comments (12)Well, a bit more progress to show. I was out of town for part of last week, but while I was gone they removed most of the siding from the back of the house where the kitchen addition will be and removed the screen porch. Since then they have also removed most of the siding around the upstairs slider that will be replaced with windows. Hopefully our permits will be returned this week and we'll have a foundation hole and the slab from the screen porch will be cut back to make room for the addition (the first 3' of it are in the way)....See MoreNatalie A
