Demo demolition

Demo.. yes the best part.. totally destroying walls ceilings floors and crown moldings..

given that our house here is laiden with old oak mouldings, painted and beat up they are but its nice to keep the old charm by restoring where possible.. not always the easy option.

so after the careful dismantle of all existing oat period features such as the high base boards and solid doors, antique "knobs and knockers" and all the rest we where ready to distroy the place...

its all great fun busting open walls, and in this house it is all old lattice and plaster so it is a step by step process plaster off... bag it lattice off bag it eat, breath and sleep 100 year old plaster dust... bag it. plaster dust gets everywhere, we taped off the stairs and rooms to contain the mess.. no such luck.. it travels through walls and floorboards imm nearly sure it was blowing out the first floor windows and coming straight back in on the second floor.. disaster..

3 days in the house and we had the first floor and basement demolished.. leaving us with a clear view off what lies ahead of us.
