Eric didn't want/couldn't wait for the insurance company so he and his friend Bill took out the walls today.
It's open!! The darkness is gone.
It looks like way too giant a problem and mess to me but Eric is excited about the project.
I think in his mind it's his thing and there is little chance he'll let the restoration company do the work.
Let's hope the insurance settlement will be enough to cover the majority of the cost.
We spent some time in Home Depot last night just the two of us. Looking at options and pricing things out.
The previous owner was a flake who fancied himself a builder. Eric has been shocked and dismayed many times over the years at things he's discovered. This is no different. Even I can see that his wiring, plumbing and even gas lines are a disaster. This will be a good opportunity for Eric to put some things right. Amazing that he ever passed inspections! Makes you wonder how he did?!
Beams and posts are incorrect. Pretty excited about getting proper beams in and eliminating some of the posts. So glad Eric is so handy.
