Step 2.9 - And Yet More Demo

As parts of the walls came down, temporary support had to be added to make sure the whole thing didn't just collapse.

A lot of past mistakes get uncovered during demo. One of our discoveries was the fact that somebody prior to 1989 had taken a 220 volt line and split it into three 110 lines. I didn't even know that was possible. It's a miracle that the house didn't burn down.

There was a lot of stucco and plaster that had to be removed, especially in the old bathroom. Mark discovered that the drain line from the old shower did not connect with the sewer. Instead, it appeared to just go out into the side yard and disappear into the earth. No wonder it never drained right.
