Mike worked
hard and mainly by himself (with only a little help from me) demolishing
the walls and ceiling in the living room and the den. During the
destruction we found the footing for the old fireplace in the
den and a really cool painted ceiling. The original walls turned
out to be tongue and groove pine and the ceilings were also 1"
pine paneling. We found wood patchwork where the old narrow stairway
must have been. And, in the whole process created a lot of trash.
