The demolition is done!


The demo is done. It is such dirty, messy work – yuck! We tarped over the entrance to the room to control the dirt, which worked okay. We bagged all the debris and carried it to the curb. Lucky for us, the city takes whatever you put out as long as it is either bagged or under 5’ in length.
The bids are in and the rebuilding work has begun! The rough electrical work is completed and the bid from the drywaller was acceptable. Our tasks are the insulation and replacement windows. We bought the insulation and vent panels to install under the insulation (so the roof can breathe). We have 10 days before the drywaller starts to get the insulation up and the windows installed. It is 10 degrees outside and has been snowing for 50hours…not exactly a good time to pull out windows and put in new ones! But we don’t want to put the whole project on hold until Spring so we’ll soldier on! The forecast is for snow all week so we plan to do the windows next weekend. We can get the insulating done in the evenings after work.
