Day 32 - Demo Continues

Basement is progressing well. Drain tile around the perimeter is installed and surrounded by gravel and soil cloth. Dirt is being backfilled on top of this and its about 2/3 done. We can now see our backyard again with piles of dirt gone. The basement floor has been filled with gravel, drain pipes connected to sump, and covered with plastic and then sand and wire mesh. But basement will not be poured until later next week after subfloor is installed over the top.

Demo crew arrived today and gutted the kitchen. Not much left of the walls as seen above. With 30mph gust today, combined with the guys clearing celluouse insulation with a leaf blower, their is a lot of dust in the neighborhood today. I stopped in for lunch and they had already thrown away the glass panel laundry door, since I had forgot to mark "save" on windows and doors that I want to keep. Luckily one of the guys Antonio was able to rummage throw the huge pile in the truck and find the door. Amazingly the glass wasn't broken but the door was pretty beat up, but salvageable. My temporary walls are not quite airtight, so our living area is covered in a pretty thick layer of plaster dust. By end of day tomorrow the entire roof structure should be gone, down to the sill plate, and they will finish gutting the laundry room also.
