Demolition

A little taste of demolition follows. Work is progressing nicely, and we're excited about everything that's being done. 

Over labor day weekend, Steve and I tackled the backyard foliage.
Steve cutting apart an invasive vine that had not only wrapped itself around water lines but continued to climb on to the roof and pushed a short way through a broken window and an attic vent:

 The roof of the bonus room after Steve finished his work:

The mound of plant matter resulting from our work (Steve actually cleaned up a lot of this while I was away last weekend):

 Demolished back deck (looks better already!):

Original flooring at the bottom of many layers beneath our former kitchen sink (the opening behind the sink leading to the laundry room will be closed off):

The bathroom was originally built having a step down from the level of the rest of the house, so oddly enough there were two levels of flooring in place:

Demolished front porch (partially rebuilt with 2x4's holding the original columns in place until rebuilding is complete):

Plaster removed in the kitchen to expose damaged lath:
