Saturday, March 10th Kory decided he wants to get the house ready to set the roof back down. It's at 9ft plus a few inches at the moment. Once we get the new walls built we can lower the roof to the 9ft which is were in needs to be. The problem is we still have 3 brick exterior walls that need to come down. Ugh..... So Kory picked this wall. This is the wall that will have the entrance into my future office. In just a short time the wall came down!
We picked up all the old brick, swept up all the lava rock. Then Kory decided it would be better to go all the way to the corner so we took out the last few feet.
When we poured the slab for the future office, we knocked holes in the lower brick (of the wall) to allow cement to run into the brick foundation underneath to make it stronger. We couldn't smooth it at that time because of all the brick on top. So when the wall came down Kory had to smooth the rough edges. Lots and lots of dust!
Then came the fun part! We got to build the new wall.
For now we just have it framed and sheeted on the outside. Eventually we will be able to hang my barn door and have an entrance into my office. I can hardly wait!
So happy we only have 2 more exterior walls to go......
