Downstairs Demolition

While we were gone this summer, we were getting water in the basement along this wall from the sprinklers that we got running the day before we left. After we had been home a few weeks, the kids noticed it, and told us the wall was moldy. Sure enough, the whole wall was mushy, and moldy, and the carpet was wet. We didn't notice it at first, because the water was under & behind the couch. Needless to say, we had to tear out the bottom half of this wall, and I had at least two very willing to help with the destruction!

Hammers in hand..... both hands even.....

The wall was in bad shape, but fortunately it is relatively easy to tear out and fix. Especially since we have the paint and mouldings left from when we re-did the house 2 years ago.
