Phase 2: The Demo Begins

On March 1, we did a final walkthrough with our contractor to assess the property. With the permit in hand, the demo team began their work the next day. They went to town.


This is the first of many dumpsters.


They started on the 3rd floor, my former apartment. Oh bedroom, I did love you so!


Look at the fancy wallpaper hiding in my closet/exercise room/workspace.


Man at work.


The inside of our front wall overlooking the street.


Bathroom, how you've changed.


I'm trapped between my old world (the kitchen to my left) and my future (the destruction to my right.) I especially like the hints of blue that are still detected from my former bathroom walls.


The horror, the horror!!


So much for the ceiling. Even that has been touched.


They have removed all the drywall from the north wall.


Home in transition.


From Living-room to Bathroom to Bedroom.

  1. How exciting! You're wise to take lots of photos. When we did a gut rehab in Roscoe Village, we didn't take nearly enough. But I did become very attached to the exposed brick and two x four structure and sort of missed it when, after two months, the drywall went back up!

    Will you be posting what the plans are for your building?
