the first project!

today i started stage one of "basement demolition"...we need some room to fix some plumbing and make way for the new washer and dryer. so armed with a crowbar and hammer, i went to work.

the basement is partially finished, so the walls are framed out and covered with wood paneling...the ceiling?...i think its drywall. either way, its all got to go.

before...


after...


i especially like the duct tape holding the shop-vac hose together...you stay classy 162.

ok, i know it doesnt look like i did very much, but i assure you, it was hard work. i removed all the paneling from the wall and managed not to electrocute myself or cut any of the water lines. the next step will be to figure out what circuit breakers control those electrical outlets, after that, i can take down the framing and get that wall ready for the new washer/dryer...

heres a snapshot of me not electricuting myself...


paparazzi!!!


no demolition is complete without some quality time with the sawzaw...
