Scary Cabin

With the downstairs in pretty good shape, it is time to start demolishing the upstairs. With a full crew, we parked the trailer below the upstairs balcony and started ripping out paneling, sheetrock, knee walls, carpet. Basically everything. Most of the interior walls are staying with the exception of the knee walls so we left those alone, but the exterior walls are now down to the studs. The nasty carpet was pulled out and what was left of the pad scrapped up. It took a little over a day to get almost everything out. By then we had a full trailer so it was off to the dump. All that’s left to do upstairs is the closet and half bath. Throwing the debris straight off the balcony into the trailer worked out pretty good. I think we’ll do this again for the rest of the upstairs. The upstairs looks brighter and larger with all that dark paneling removed. Demo always seems to go pretty fast.

As a reward for getting the upstairs torn out so quickly , we bought a new couch. The fact that it was on sale for 20% off didn’t hurt either. So we now have some real furniture in the living area. Next week we’ll haul up some of the other furniture we’ve been stockpiling. It’s going to be strange not eating meals on the cheap small patio table and camp chairs.
