Demolition is almost done!

Those of you who know Curtis, know he means business.  Demolition is almost done and we are now working on our permit.  A few issues always come up when working with an older property.  Our first is that there is no official record of where the septic tank is and no one currently living knows either.  The nice side of that is we have had the chance to talk to our neighbors and some long time residents and heard some great stories!  However the septic guy is coming out today to send a camera down the line to figure out where things are.  Sounds like fun!  Here are some demo pictures.  Interestingly enough, it looks like there had been a door where we want to go through the wall.  Great minds think alike!

The Plan so far

Here are the most current plans for what we want to do.  As we get further into the project some things may change, but this is our best thoughts at this point.  Two classrooms, a bathroom and the old furnace are cleared, next comes the auditorium and stage.

Thank you!

Thank you to all who were able to stop by and visit.  Now the real work begins!  Demo starts on Monday.  I will post our blueprints of the changes soon.

The 'before'

Below are some pictures of our starting point.  Power should be on this week and things will really get going.  If you are curious to see it up close and personal, along with the plans for the renovation, stop by this Saturday, January 4th from 1-4pm.  We would love to show you around!  If you can't make it, stay tuned, the blue prints will be coming soon.

We are also on the hunt for some old pictures of when this was used as a school.  If you know of where we can find them we would really appreciate it.  Found some Valentines in a wall today. Wonder what we will find next?
