This wasn't the post I had planned. I planned to show you the chimney removal, except...I forgot the memory card for the camera. *sigh*
Instead, you get to see the next step. (I will post the chimney, I promise.)
Walt Kowalski built this very nice temporary wall. This was the kitchen and will be the laundry room. The wall that was here was being held up by a single piece of 8 inch long 4 inch wide siding. How this house remained standing we'll never know.
We also patched holes in the floors from the old registers. It's so dangerous to have to remember to NOT step in a hole in the floor. You always have to look behind yourself before stepping and everyday Walt Kowalski would say "be careful!" cause he knows me too well.
The power tools always look like toys.
"Quick, get a photo. This is the only level board in the house!"
The photos make it look like it happens in an instant, when really it was 4 hours later.
We used 2x6 for this new wall because it will be the laundry room. We wanted to give it a little extra sound barrier from the rest of the house.
The "old" new wall can now be removed .
