Monday's "demo" (demolition work)

Monday's work included "demoing" (demolishing) the front walls and jacking up the roof rafters about 2 inches.  This was caused by water damage and termites eating away the board across the bottom of the wall.  Our construction manager brought in a load of lumber about lunch time and the project really began to move.  One of the complications is that the brick outside is strapped to the wall that is damaged.  We have to replace sections of the roof in order to keep the water out. 

We really got started as we unloaded the electric generator and every sort of power tool, even a fan.

Demo: Water has been pumped away, and now our team goes to work removing the vinyl floor in the resessed livingroom.
