Ripping out someone else stuff.

This is another house in the park here. I know his name Bob and her name I don't remember. But this is Mike's project. Mike lives about four doors down from my house. Since he has moved in, we have stayed in contact. He has been doing many projects on his own house. So I stop by and see what he is working on. So On Monday he asked if I would be able to help him out on Thursday and Friday? 

Thinking I started this bathroom, but the top still needs to come in. So I told him sure. Plus Roy as been going over and doing small repairs on the bathroom. 

Well you can see there is water damage in the ceiling. So I guess Mike gave them a price and they liked it. So I am here to help rip the ceiling out and do what ever else is needed.

You can see the mold in the ceiling here. So pulling all this down was a chore. 

This is Mike. Really nice guy and a hard worker. I think we worked pretty good together.

Got all the garabge out and cleaned the floor and looking great I think? 

So now I need to take this to the dump. 

Mean while Mike went to Home Depot and I went to the dump. Got back home and had some lunch and we got back to work around 2:30pm. 

Now if you look closely. There is a sag in the ceiling supports. So Mike bought some 2x4x12' To run across the full ceiling spam. Then we jacked up each support beam and screwed the 2x4 in along the old beam. Plus ran stringers up and down along the ceiling beams. The reason Mike wanted to do this is first of all, this way the ceiling will not bow downwards. If you look at the first picture you can see all the water damage went to the center of the room. The leak was along the outside wall only. 

You can see the water leak here. Over all it was a long day. But I think we got the hard job done??? Maybe, the drywall he bought is 12 feet long. But 1/2" thick. That might be a bigger challenge they we can handle? I will share what happens tomorrow. 

I left there and got a little food and went to bed by 8 something pm. 

I was bushed and even a little sore. But I am half way done here. 

I really enjoy working hard and at the end I might complain but it is a good work out too. 

So let me just praise Him and say think You LORD, again for the strength.
