The Demo Begins

Once we were settled into our RV humble abode, it was time to get started with the demolition. This process took about 4 weeks.  This was one area that we could save money by doing most of the demo ourselves.  Our 1940's house had layers of history.  Behind the dark paneling in the living area we quickly found another layer of wood lined walls.  The really neat thing about that was that the walls were lined with broken down WWII ammunition boxes.  Almost all of the floors were several layers thick, and the bathroom walls had 5 layers on them.  It felt like the layers would never end.

A great space to create our new kitchen

The bathtub was actually falling through the floor

One of the existing bedrooms.  Not sure why there was a
ceiling fan and a wagon wheel light.

The first few boards are removed!

Underneath the paneling were WWII ammunition boxes.
They are all dated.  It was a really neat find!
