With demolition completed we can now start on rebuilding the living room. The original plan was to remove as much of the dry-bar, chimney, and half wall. Well as you can see some of those plans changed.
The chimney was to badly damaged to remove and was never removed from the second and third floors. So taking it out would have been a pain in the butt. The dry-bar was also unable to be completely removed because of the tunnel under that part of the house. The only thing I was able to remove was the half wall, at-least its something.
