Demolition Begins!

I'm happy to report we are already 2 days ahead of schedule, thanks to Randy our site Superintendent & his crew at Marquise Drywall. Every Tuesday at 8:30am there is a sub-contractor progress meeting in the War Room at ADPi (otherwise known as the Phone Room). I walked in this morning, and was shocked to see almost all of the ceilings out on the first floor.

Foyer

Dining Room

Formal Living Room

As expected, on Day 2 of Construction we're already running into some changes now that the ceilings are opened. We have knob-and-tube wiring in the old (1950's) portion of the house. Richard our Electrican will have fun with that.

In the long hallway in the 1966 addition to the house, we planned to put in a row of cans. Today the discovery was made (photo left) of heating piping, so cans won't be possible.

We planned to install a new recessed dome in the foyer, but discovered a steel beam exactly where the dome was planned. (We'll still do it, but location has slightly changed)

Also got a fun call today that the freezers in the kitchen stopped working, probably due to the circuits coming on and off. The housemen (more on them later) were able to run the frozen food over to Chi Omega until we can find a better solution.
