Dismanteling

The garage roof is quasi finished so it is time to start taking apart the Residence interior walls. These first walls coming down will be used on the garage exterior walls where the big doors go.

 This is the outside of the circular wall of the existing family room.
This arc will be kept and the wall will be rocked. The stairs going to the second level go against this wall. The previous owner didn't want the sheet rock to come away from this circle so each panel has screws going down it every two inches. Could be overkill or he knew what he was doing on this particular part of the building process. We have strapped my clothes rods to the wall now so the earthquakes won't keep throwing everything around.

We will need to continue the wall up to the ceiling for the final elevation of the new family room. The left side will be taken straight across and a small closet will be built at the stair landing. We need to decide if that will be the audio/video closet or a place for extra throw blankets and fireplace stuff.. We are not wireless with our television at the moment but we probably will be in the near future. Will need to get a guy out to do that for us since we are Baby Boomers and not Gen Xers.
