Palm Springs Meiselman Reborn

A Mid-Century Tract Home Renovation

January 22, 2004

Day Two

The 20 yard dumpster is almost full and we haven't even started the real demo yet. It's all junk that was left behind by the previous owner/tenants. And there's so much more junk, so much more. We haven't hit the train room yet.

Two big suprises yesterday: we need to run a new gas line (there's a leak under the slab) and after the rains the other night, we discovered there's a serious leak in the roof of the train room - better to know now rather than later.

The beast is finally gone. Here I am using my favorite powertool ever - my Milwaukee Sawzall®.
