Gut a house and refurbish

Northern Tool & Equipment? Maybe call an equipment rental place like Sunbelt or Carolina Tractor.

 

thanks guys. someone told me that Little hardware on Mint St. has them.

btw....these things are used as permanent support structures. lookout below!

 

i was going to mention this but see you already know. Old logs/bricks sell for some mad cash.

 

Permanent? Just knock some 4x4's in there with a sledge.

 

drained the existing oil drum this afternoon to prepare it for removal. got nearly 55 gallons of old heating oil outta that thing. rain is forcast for tuesday so plans will be on hold til the weather clears.

 

I don't think screw jacks meet code

 

i dont think i need one now. im friggin glad too.

 

today

hauled off 5 trash bags of old kitchen junk from the kitchen cabinets and drawers. saved some old china, chrystal, various odds and ends, including 4 old Schlitz beer glasses :congrats:. stripped off all the molding and hood over stove. in the old dining room, me and the father in law stripped off the knotty pine molding, french doors, door frames, base boards, 2 corner china cabinets (and built-in gun cabinet). he wants the old tongue and grove knotty pine paneling but that shit is brittle as hell. we may be able to cut above the finished nails and salvage some but its gonna be tedious as hell. i hope he gives up on that idea. i took down all the interior doors in the house.

 

not much to comment on today, i hauled some of the old kitchen stuff to the basement, unhooked the plumbing to the sink, took the interior doors to the basement and stripped the moulding from the living room walls, doors and picture window frame. saturday will be my next day down there. hope to remove the old oil drum and the cracked septic tank lid. got alot of wall paper to strip so imma cut the wife loose on that one. the father in law has begun taking down the pine paneling. things are moving along. monday, i'll be off work so the whole day will be dedicated to more demolition. :newsmile61:

 

Sounds like you've got some help from the family, that definately helps. Post some pics. I should be done with my remodel this weekend, or soon after that, I had my shower floor sprayed with Perma-Ceram, looks awesome, I'll have some pics up as well, keep up the good work.
