And it's gone...

Renovating our kitchen so I figured I'd record it.   They took it apart and down in about 3 and a half hours.   Going from a 10x12 kitchen to a 16x23 Kitchen/Dining area.   Poof!

That wasn't a demolition. That was a systematic disassembly and clean up.

A demo would have been me with a chainsaw and big arse sledge.

Very neatly done.

Yeah, they did a pretty amazing job.  The safest way to go about it as well.

Most professional, least fun.

Nice project.  Best of luck with it.  Yes, it often pays to go with the professionals.

The discount to do it myself wasn't worth it.   I had pulled some of the siding off that I intended to re-use however, so much of it was breaking that I wouldn't end up with enough so I left it go.

Those guys are doing the footings, piers, framing and roofing.  I'm doing everything else.  My only weakness is drains.  Electric, heating,  supply water, insulation..etc, no problem.   Routing the drain is going to suck since it has to cut across 4 new floor joists and enter the rim joist of the old house and I'm going to be out of the country when it needs to happen.   I want to drill the joists as he adds them so I can insert a piece of PVC through the joists before that's no longer possible.  Piecing together a bunch of short lengths strikes me as a clog waiting to happen.

Ah well, I'll get it done and pitched right, it's just going to suck.

Now you should do a video of them building it back up

That is my intent, however since I'm going to be in Honduras next week, I'm not going to be able to.  My wife will be there, but getting her to set up the 2nd camera is impossible.    I may have to just live with what the one security cam gets.  Hmm...maybe I should install a 2nd cam somewhere.
