Basement demolition…second floor work...

Saturday, February 8

The messy work in the basement was much more fun in with a large group!
With thanks to Angel, Will P and TJ we were able to demolish the rock lathe ceiling in the old basement.  This will is the beginning of the formulation of the new mudroom in the basement.
The gray material is cellulose insulation that we had blown into the walls back in 2007. 
The demolition revealed all kinds of electrical wires both old and new that will have to be removed and re-wired. 




Also accomplished on the same day was the demolition of the plaster walls that separate the old guest room with the new upstairs space.  It really opened up the feeling of the future room.

Where the radiator is currently located will be the future stairwell.

Above is a photo looking back at the demolished wall and the old guest room.

The view at the end of the day was spectacular.
