Demolition Saturday: What You Missed!
Sunday, September 30, 2007
We had a crew of able and willing volunteers on Saturday morning. After getting instructions that the mission of the day would be the upstairs bathroom and tearing out the wall between the two side rooms downstairs, the work began! Everyone got a full workout, especially the parties working on the upstairs bathroom. There were many trips up and down the stairs to the dumpster to haul debris out to the dumpster. Today in church there was talk of sore muscles that some had forgotten they even had! LOL!
FYI: Click on any of the pictures to see them large size and
in greater detail.
in greater detail.
Protecting the wooden floors with brown paper before the work began.
Whether Smith was working upstairs or downstairs,
he was just WAAAAY too happy with all the tools!
On the other hand his knowledge was invaluable with knowing what
was needed in regards to caps needed for the water fixtures.
Assessment of what needed to be done in the upstairs bathroom.
Eventually there was a main team of people upstairs and a team downstairs.
Some people floated between the two areas to help.
Angie, Mary Catherine and Garrett spent most of their day tearing out tiles in the
bathroom. Once that was done, the bathroom was ready for the wood to be removed as
it had to be cleared down to the studs.
For the wood removal, Steve and Scott came in with the large crowbar
and hammers and in no time they had the planks removed.
Mary Catherine taking one of many buckets of trash to the dumpster.
Angie dubbed her "demolition queen" due to quick pace she tore out bathroom tiles.
It was a regular bucket brigade up and down those stairs to haul the debris out.
The team in that room took turns hauling.
Garrett was the man with tools!
He came prepared and brought his own tool boxes.
Not one but two! (I think he had a sonic screwdriver in there!)
When it was all over the bathroom walls were stripped with the
only things remaining to be removed were the tub and the tile floor.
Downstairs the work was just as vigorous.
Mary Jane, Mary, Allen, Scott, Steve, Speed, and the youth
worked mainly to knock out the wall. Again some floated to work up and downstairs.
That Mary Jane!!! She was just too happy with the sledgehammer!
She was wicked with that thing!
The wall came down in no time and the downstairs team
hauled all their "stuff" to the dumpster as well.
The boys from Youth were helping also.
I am not quite sure the specifics of what they were doing, but I
think it was removing some sort of stud or nail from the floor.
Allen just about finishing up the job downstairs.
At the end of the day, much had been accomplished. It was a great start to the remodeling of the manse. If you think you missed out on the chance to help, you have not. There will be other projects that you will be able to assist with coming very soon. So have your work gloves and work boots ready!
