Demo Day Four 12.12.

Yesterday our bright yellow dumpster arrived and I got our Building Permit.

The drywall (and etc) pile is now out of the living room. It almost was enough to fill the dumpster. Hopefully we won’t have to have it dumped, but I wouldn’t be surprised. There’s still more drywall that needs to come down in the bedroom, along with the ceiling in the living room.

______________________________________

This is the portion of the wall that will come completely down. The white square above the door frame is the transom that will eventually go above the bathroom door. With that part gone, it’ll open the foyer into the living room and not feel as choppy as it does now.

______________________________________

The first photo is standing in the living room, looking through the dining room, and into the kitchen. The second is just the opposite. The ‘T’ used to be the doorway between the living room and dining. Getting rid of that, and widening the doorways to all be the same size looks so much better and agrees more with the flow of the house.

______________________________________

This is the left side of the kitchen which will house cabinets underneath the windows. I see this being one of the favorite areas for Sadie and Maple.

The bathroom now has no floor. Apparently, whoever built this addition didn’t do such a great job. Along with the beams of the ceiling being wrong, so are the ones that support the floor. That will all be fixed though!

I just want to point out all the dog poop that is sprinkled along the sidewalk of our backyard.

I love LOVE love this house.
This is sooo cool to watch the demo and all that goes with it.
If I could flip old houses for a living I swear I would do it!

I think this kicks major ass you guys are able to do this.
Are you still in your other house for now?

This is such a great project you’re doing! It’s going to be so exciting to see the before and afters! Good luck with everything!

Haha…and all that doggie poo! 😛

You’re getting me excited about my future home renovating/building…which is still a little ways away because our broker doesn’t know how to return phone calls… grr. But that’s another story…

Whoever built addition to our house did cheap half ass job. We wish we could fix all that.

haha why thank you!

it’s been an obsession of ours for quite sometime, and it’s weird things are actually getting done.

yeah, we are living in our house on strong right now. hopefully it’ll sell soon, though. the upstairs of the house we are renovating is in much better (and livable) condition, so if th strong house sells, we will have a place to live if work isn’t completed downstairs.

our long term goal is to be able to flip properties in five points…but not do it cheaply and gross – more like find the diamonds in the rough and restore them.

ew broker stories can be horrid…i’m sorry you are having to deal with that.

i can’t wait to see/hear about your adventures! 🙂

ps – we don’t even have a dog! haha

admin 13.12.

why thank you! the work is getting done a lot faster that we thought. no complaints, of course! 🙂

admin 13.12.

ours too! maybe it was the same person…haha. i’m sure you could fix it. the guy that is helping us does all of this for a WONDERFUL price.

i’m guessing you’ll be at the artist’s market winter solstice thing on saturday? crash boom bang is doing a ten minute skit, so i’ll be there too. i’ll talk to you more about chico and the work he’s doing and price, etc.
