The Long Weekend
Published By mike
I had the whole weekend free so I was at The Store continuing to pull up materials that I’m planning to save/reuse and also continue the demolition. I didn’t quite get as far as I would have liked but made some good progress all the same!
After Day 1 (Friday Evening) – I was able to finish pulling all of the door trim, baseboard, etc. and Uncle Al spent a bunch of time tearing out closets, baseboard heaters, and pulling up carpeting from a few of the other rooms.
After Day 2 (Saturday) – I started pulling up the hardwood floor that I’m hoping to save, made some progress on that (luckily it’s coming up really well!) but found out quickly that I wasn’t going to be able to make much progress without starting to take out some of the walls (since it’s tongue and groove, and the walls are built on top of the flooring). So I started tearing out walls! Uncle Al spent time cleaning out the “Oil Shed” part of the building and taking out shelving, etc. because that section of the building will be coming off as well.
After Day 3 (Sunday) – Bit of a slow start this morning (Church, of course) as well as having to clean up a bit early for an event that I had to get to later in the afternoon made Sunday a bit less productive than I’d hoped, but still made good progress, finished tearing out one of the walls and spent time pulling nails out of trim boards that I’m reclaiming. I also had some fantastic visitors come by to check out the progress! (Cousins, Uncles, and more!)
