Week 2: It's a Wreck!

The second week of demo is wrapped up. On the first floor we've removed the lath and plaster and revealed the brick walls. We also pulled down the tin ceiling in the back section of the space that won't be visible to the public. It's natsy, black lung kinda work.

Not much is happening in the basement, but that should change this week as the masons and excavators arrive and get to work. Upstairs, I've been wrecking the old office space. As I had hoped, the hardwood floors underneath all the carpet are in great shape most everywhere. Not that you can see them under the cloud of gypsum dust, but they will shine up well someday.

Although I enjoy the zen of swinging a sledgehammer alone, I'm organizing a Demo Party next Saturday the 31st. If you're the kind of person who enjoys loading old acoustical ceiling panels and rolls of carpet into a dumpster, send me an email at josh at revbrew.com to join in the fun (We've got enough help signed up!). We'll work for a few hours emptying out the second floor space. In a nod to the big picture, pizza and beer will be provided.
