Process photos of the house demolition - the saga continues

 

When I first walked into the house and saw all the footprints on the hallway carpet, I knew these folks did some work.

I opened the door, and my suspicions were confirmed.

The first floor is now fully demo’ed and they’re ready to put the drywall up.

Early on when my brother and I did the initial demo, I had a couple moments while tearing down the place. Now, I’m more fascinated and excited to see the journey continue to transform it into the final product.

I didn’t stage anything - it looked cool just the way it was. So I did a couple laps in each room - or, what’s left of them.

It was a bit tough to wiggle around and get a ton of wide shots, but the magic is in the details anyway.

The nails, broken wood slats, light switches, nails, tools, debris. It all looked visually delicious.

I should’ve worn a mask as it was a bit dusty in there, but, after getting some fresh air, and drank a boatload of water, I felt better.

Looking forward to seeing what the place looks like with walls again.

That process starts this week.
