Demolition, Plans and Permits

Sorry for the delay in posting, it has been a heck of a lot of work and running around the past few weeks.

Dad and I spend a solid week taking down the small office in the front part of the barrel vaulted office space.  As I have said before, it was built like  battle ship.  Some sections had multiple layers of plaster, wood studding, metal studding and about 30lbs of various glues and nails.

We nibbled at it, little by little, section by section till we were able to drop whole sections.  It was a ton of work and we more or less took a week off afterward.  That one little office was most of a 20 yard dumpster worth of debris.

They just don't build em like that anymore.  For a damn good reason...

While all this was going on, we had several meetings with our architect, mechanical engineers and countless contractors.  It was a bit frustrating at first, but I think things leveled out and things are looking up.

Next step is to get our plans finalized and officially sealed and then shipped off to various city and county administration offices.
