day 2 and 3 Demo

Alright sorry about the delay in posting, the camera got left at the house. Day two, we took out the rest of the carpet, most of the tack, and did some more demo. Our good friend Ryan came over to see the house, while in Khloe's room he started bouncing on the floor. Not a good sign. Brett pulled up a little of the floor. The floor joists are too far apart. So that needs to be fixed. Also there are piles of bricks under the joists kinda of as supports. Jason said that's what they use to do back in the day. It's lasted this long so I don't think it's going to fall. Since we are framing out Khloe's room we were going to do the ceiling as well, but the boys got smart and decided to just tear out the ceiling and just use the old beams. saved us a ton of money in lumber. Also we had Brett's cousin come over (Chris) and he helped clean out the space above the garage. There were old pictures from some owner. We would like to find them so they can have their pictures back. Lots of racoons stuff up there too. We took out the ceiling in the front room too because the sheetrock was bowed. the boys thought it was just because they didn't screw the sheets in the middle. turns out the supports are the wrong way. They should be turned on the skinny side. And under the supports is nice popcorn ceiling so that came out too. Thats why Brett is filthy!

Upstairs, ripped out the carpet, it's not mold the carpet pad just stuck to the plywood. Found some water damage too but we think it's old

Ceiling before we ripped out the popcorn. The beams should be turned on their sides

Khloe's floor. The beams are in the brick but because they are long they piled bricks up in different spots to help support the beams. Fun times!!
