This past week, Frank finished up the demolition that I had started a while back. He had a lot to do, with all the screws and nails needing to be removed from the bottom of the trusses, removing ceramic tile, fireplace, removing a bunch of stone facade, removing the impossibly overbuilt walls in the carryout area, all the shelving that was behind those walls, and a some other smaller jobs. Keeping with the precedent set by the first round of demo, Frank crushed it out in record time and took some photos to further show the progress of the Rockhouse!
After removing the stupidly overbuilt wall (5/8″ plywood over 16″ OC studs) and exposing the “hidden” room that was previously only accessible from the outside.
The kitchen cabinet system removed to make way for the three compartment sink.
All the screws and nails that needed to be removed from the bottom of the “W” trusses, so that they can be painted and left exposed.
Frank, delicately removing the stone facade from the carry-out area. That stuff was a lot harder to remove that you might think.
The pile o’ tile removed from between where the dish room wall will be and the fireplace.
Demo part 2 finished! Screws removed, tile out, walls down, and stone facade broke off. Now we are just about ready for the remodel in August!
