Demolition - First Photos

here are the first photos from demolition...about two days into the process.  Man, these guys move fast!

new pictures are here.

I had them take out all of the interior walls so we can re-frame the layout of the house.  The exterior walls are all brick, and some of it will remain exposed.  Most of it will be drywalled. For the moment, all of it will be exposed so they can rip out all of the old-skool plaster that covered in the walls and ceilings.

SO: we're almost down to the studs.  Its getting less safe to walk around in there b/c the floors are unstable.

The Master Plan:

Ground Floor: 
-new wood flooring
-exposed brick
-add a 1/2 bathroom
-fresh new kitchen
-washer/dryer

Top Floor:
-wood flooring
-2 bedrooms
-2 bathrooms
-home office
-cathedral ceilings

The Roof:
-new roof [the current roof has a huge hole in it]
-a roof deck [fingers crossed on getting the permits before summer!]

Basement: 
-wood flooring
-bathroom
-bedroom

Wow, TG. That place is a mess. I live on the unit block of Quincy Place NE, and my bro-in-law lives on 200 block of Q Street NW. So I am always walking down this block. I'm a friend of DBA's--he sent me this link. We are always doing work on our house, but not to that extent. If you have any questions, need any advice, feel free to send me an email.
