The smaller addition to the main office space, we lovingly call the "print shop". In the past, this space was used as a small mom and pop printing shop for the neighborhood. We will use it as the kitchen and an education space.
We knew there was a lot of damage in this area, the leak in the ceiling was pretty obvious when we first looked at the property.
As we first started the demolition in this area, we found some nasty surprises. Termites and mold. Lucky us.
The termite damage looked to be fairly old and we found very few live ones in the wreckage.
In at least once section, the damage had been confined to the multiple layers of wooden paneling on the walls. The termites had eaten all of the organic substance from it all, leaving only the plastic layer on the surface. Extremely creepy.

Water and termite damage aside, we found little that disturbed us as we went. We pulled the ceilings down and took apart the one and only remaining bathroom in the place. Another dumpster full, we began to plan our rebuild strategy.
