We are so thankful for our friend Tyler who has been helping us take down walls, ceilings, and promises to keep coming back. I think he and Ben are enjoying breaking stuff all day and howling at the moon at night. Its all the same to me, as long as the demo gets done! Enjoy yourself, guys!

The closet is gone and the wall between the first floor bedroom and living room is following suit.

Here’s a look at Tyler in action:

Here, Ben uses his favorite wall-smashing tool (note: not his own foot):

Ben says demo goes a little something like this: “twenty minutes of smashing stuff, three hours of clean up.” I believe it! One hundred years of dust is nothing to sneeze at! [I would say pardon the pun, but I won’t because I don’t want you to.]

Luckily, these two guys know how to smash stuff, and they know how to wield a mean  shop vac.

Here’s the wall now. No lath, and no mess! The framing (some with bark still on it) comes down soon!
