Demolition Progress

The demolition went much better/smoother than either of us expected. We got all the fireplace stonework AND the entire bookshelf removed. Amazing.

Here is a photo of the stone debris ... and this doesn't even include the hearth!

and the shot I'm sure you all want to see is the "after"... so here it is:

Demolition Weekend: "After"

if anyone is really interested in how this all went down, check out this YouTube HD "stop action" video!

Fireplace demolition

Something made us decide to get rid of the stone around our fireplace. Stage 1 started today, and I decided I would take a "before" shot... so here is that:

Fireplace "Before"

I went and bought an inexpensive hammer/drill at harborfreight and with it and Kai's help, it took less than two hours to get rid of the hearth part of fireplace. Now it looks like this:

Hearthless

Kai and I have loaded up hundreds of pounds of debris and are now off to find a place to dump it.

Later today/tonight, we're going to figure out how two short people are supposed to take the rest of stone off, starting from the top. OK, maybe it won't happen until tomorrow. Depends on how good the pain killers work.
