Our “Involuntary Remodel” – Day 5 – Demolition Done!
Demolition is done!!! Servpro however is not. With most of the walls now gone, Servpro is attempting to dry the remaining walls from the inside and out. There are still fans on the main floor pulling the last of the water out of the walls. Dean and his crew did a great job today.
Also, they pulled up the kitchen floor and found the most awesomely bad vinyl flooring underneath (see the pictures above). That floor is dry and VERY attached to the subfloor so we are just going to level it and lay new flooring on top.
The worst part now is probably that several sections of the hall and bathroom are exposed to the roof with no insulation so it’s pretty drafty in here. Also, the kitchen is pretty unusable so we’re eating all our meals out. Trust me, it’s not a great as it sounds. We’ll make it though.
I think drywall crew is going to get started this weekend, so that’s good. We are trying to keep this project moving and I feel really good about the progress and the team. Allie is already getting ideas and pulling pictures from magazines for the new vanity, flooring and paint colors. We are staying positive and making this “Involuntary Remodel” as fun as possible. Stay tuned for more…
P.S. – Thanks to all of you who are following our progress here and on Twitter and Facebook. We are learning a lot and hope you are too!
