In and out, out and in
The renter, Jason, has left the building! Whoooooo HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been able to get in there for a week or so. Last weekend was spent getting some tools over along with some wood for the stove so I'm not freezing while the work goes on. Also got my trailer parked so I can dump the removed materials right into it to take to the dump. Stuff is not to ever be allowed to accumulate and I only want to move it once.
This weekend we filled the trailer. Yesterday morning was spent hauling scaffolding over so I can tear out ceilings. The gallery is about 120 yards from our home. Most stuff I haul by hand and back from here to there. I also set up a coffee pot :) GOTS to have the coffee pot. Then I got started on hauling more crap outta there so I can see what I'm working with. It was carpets this time.
Can you say NASTY?
My friend Crystal came over and helped to roll and haul carpets and then do the painstaking removal of the carpet padding. Some of it was stapled, some was glued, some had been nailed down! ALL of it had stains that I don't even want to think about the origin of.
This morning I am helping Laura get her stuff ready for a book class today. I've also started up the woodstove over at the gallery so I can get in there and do some cleanup and planning. I'm a bit sore from yesterday and since I still have that pesky day job I need to make sure my body can do the work come Monday morning. I'll keep at it and in a month or so I'm pretty sure I'll be up to the 7 day a week schegule I'm shooting for.
Prognosis so far? Replace the subfloor in the main gallery space down stairs. Removed two doorways to the back and replace with one. I'll move the bathroom door around a corner and remove a couple walls to increase the useable space in the "backstage" of the place. SO => remove walls and ceilings, then the subfloors, then frame in the new subfloors and the new exterior/interior walls for insulating and wiring. :) The upstairs floors look good. A bit of sanding and painting and the additinon of insulated walls/wiring etc will finish that space quite quickly.
Quickly.......
Right.
