Our very first night of owning the house, we started tearing the paneling off the walls where the water damage had occured. We rolled up the old, mushy rotten red carpet and hauled it out and started removing the base and trim from the walls, doors and windows.
There were at least three, maybe four layers of wallpaper in that room.
On Monday after we closed on the home, I called Kevo and asked him to get us a dumpster at the house. We were ready to get going on it.
During the week we took all the appliances out and put them on the driveway and started removing the upper kitchen cabinets.
Saturday morning... I woke up thinking "I want to tear down a chimney today. Thanks Nicole Curtis!"
First Chimney down below roof.
Getting ready to take down the second chimney. This was a bit tricky trying to figure out how to get the cap off.
We took this chimney all the way down to the first floor.
Girls enjoying the view.
We also cleaned most of the vines off the west side of the house and emptied the garage. We figured we were going to need to store some of the doors and woodwork we would be removing in the garage.
We pulled the lath and plaster off the ceiling. We wondered if the sliding door at the back of the garage worked and guess what?
It did.
There were hundreds of walnut shells up in the ceiling put there by squirrels.
