Demolition - Its time to break stuff!

With the building permit obtained the week before, demolition started on November 12, 2011. We rented a 10 yard dumpster and broke out the sledge hammer, pry bars, face masks and gloves. Here is what we basically started with (though we had already removed the windows by the time I remembered to take a picture):


We tore into the "wet wall" and found the old cast iron vent and exposed the clog prone lateral sink drain...


Yuck! Here is the mold infested shower stall after the tile was knocked out:


Down to studs:


Down to Stud...yes, just one:


Ok, at this point, we got up on the roof and started cutting rafters...


Jason never saw me run as fast as I did when this thing finally started to come down.


Roof is finally down!


Goodbye block wall...


Goodbye slab! If you've ever jackhammered 45 year old concrete, you'll know how much fun this was...


Demolition complete!
