Captain's Blog: Basement, Phase 1

Demolition is complete. I have found a couple of concerning things underneath and behind the wayne's coating (always happens with remodels). The walls were BEAT UP, and I mean BEEEAAAT UP. That means the wayne's coating was put there somewhat recently to try and add value when the home went to market...lots of patching to do. Also a little mold on the drywall in the back...which is why they left the de-humidifier...little work to do there too.



















What's really great is that in the picture below, the brown piece of wood above and behind the pool table revealed a nice surprise! Upon opening it, I found out that is where all of the fireplace ash gets dumped from the first floor. Herb (the previous owner), thought it would be a good idea to board it all up and just fill it...for like 10 years! That's a lot of ash and I have only removed a portion with the shop-vac. Dang it HERB!
