First steps

Here it is in all it’s glory. A 1953 ranch with cinder block foundation. In home renovator’s parlance, what we’ve got here is a total gut job –which means that we’ll be taking this structure down to bare framing. Studs will be exposed on the inside; sheathing will be exposed on the outside. In some way’s it’s like building a new house, because all new materials will be required. But we’ll be working with the existing building shell, and possibly adding on to get a bit more space. But what you’re seeing in these photos is the scary beginning –ground zero.
