More Destruction!

 From the kitchen, through the entryway to the hall bath. CALI'S COMMENT: I dont think we can use the office anymore.

One of Matt's guys working on destruction of the front room.  The hall bath is on the right. CALI'S COMMENT: He is like a dinosaur, smashing our house down... hehe... just kidding

 The floor is removed from the girls room. CALI'S COMMENT: I loved that room... but i can get over it!!!! haha wow, that fan is going to fall on someone. Its a hazard.

 The pile of metal rubble from the ceilings and walls. CALI'S COMMENT: It's like a little house.. for  a unicorn. like someone we know...

 The front of the house is now prepared for removal of the old stone and overlap wood.

Our old entry.  The red tape dots indicate stuff to be removed.  The camilla that was on the left has been put in a large pot in the back yard. CALI'S COMMENT: What dad usually says: "Cali shut the door! Your letting flies in!"

That window gets saved to be donated.  It's a really nice window.  The camilla that was on the left has also been put in a large pot in the back yard.  The other plants are going bye-bye. CALI's COMMENT: Go bye-bye plants! I always wanted to eat those berries...

 The ol' fireplace is gone...

all that's left is the base....

 and a pile of rubble.

 The hall bath is ripped out too.

 The walls, being stucco, posed a challenge.  It's much heavier and tougher than drywall.

 Underneath the back deck was a concrete patio.  That needs to be removed now too.

 Deck rubble.

 Fireplace rubble

 More fireplace rubble and...

 the hole where the fireplace stood.

 All the ceilings are removed.  You can now see through to the inside of the roof.

 From the living room looking through the wall to the family room.

 Pipes above the ceiling that were part of the original heating.

 The hall bath.  The bathtub and toilet were once there.

From the kitchen looking into both the living and family rooms full of fireplace rubble.

One of those soldiers is laying down on the job!

Four toilets from the four bathrooms waiting to be released from duty.  Left to right, hall, master, pantry, upstairs.

The left side of the house.  The plywood is to indicate where the new windows will be.  There is a problem with the placement of the gas meter and the window.  There must be 18" clearance.  We're working on a solution.

Dan the Smasher, Can We Smash it? Dan the Smasher, YES WE CAN!

 Super cool sign outside the fortress!

 Rippin' up the floors!

The floor looks better in a pile!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Over the rubble, and though the wall, to our old house we go... (to be continued)

 Born to be a model... *sniffle*

 The model, modeling with the pool!

 Ski ramp! (Alex trying to be cool)

 Wow, our house sure looks different!

 I have x-ray vision... :) I can finally see though walls!

 

I walked on that just a couple of weeks ago! Thats weird...

Glad we moved out when we did!

 Our family room!!! (and me, of course.. :)

 Woah, you can see through the wall! (Fireplace is still there though)

Hello!

 So much stuff in the kitchen...

 Inside the fortress.

 There is concrete in the wall, what a surprise!

 The old ceiling!

 They used copper pipes to heat the house!

 Finally, the stairs are clear!

A vintage beer can found in the ceiling! Surprise, surprise...

Demolition of the old kitchen!
