Demolition!

Demolition finally began last week, and our contractor has made an amazing amount of progress. The old back porch is gone and hauled away, as is the furnace. Plaster everywhere has come down and the lower level floor is being opened up for new plumbing. Tomorrow the retaining wall subcontractors will move their equipment in and start taking down the existing wall. Demolition on the bathroom will begin and preparations will be made for new electrical and plumbing.

Our contractor has informed us that the laundry room ceiling will need to be dropped 3" to accommodate all the plumbing and venting in the area, but that's no problem, we have plenty of room.
