" I guess what we've got is well our neighbor had an old. Roll roof out on top autograph there that in the next house has been remodeled you can see that stand masonry carpet that's been built around and -- build up roof section. That white went down that looks like a brand new job -- A skylight system on the whole room good trance like now yeah well house that's probably pretty dramatic inside better this. And then of course looking across the street. You see a lot of houses that -- got from the sixties. -- hillsides. They're -- fund itself so what's this building across the street from us directly assault Adobe building that's the old Malibu City Hall. It's actually brick isn't it it buffeted -- for brick you know it really what I love is the roof it's got the authentic. Bob barrel tile roof you know just like in the old mission and and that's what we're gonna trying do on this house here sure and you can see that they have them unpacking in between pile of them might that -- is that behind it up the hillside at that very modern. Structures are built there. Been for sale for quite awhile -- been. And we got our neighbor's house which I understand it one point belonged to Michael land that's correct that's I understand they've picked. This this -- an interesting. Item here yeah this is serve an imitation fake. Well I'm depressed fiberglass product that looks like a barrel tile and very often is the appropriate. Probably use what you don't. Have sufficient foundation to carry the weight of real barrel tile I'm I'm sure that we with the consideration here their piles underneath that house for much longer than -- Now let's talk about the roof on our little house here that this was at 1954 building. And off it what we have here is we have a one by."
" The safety -- and that's that feel. -- a -- fly with the heating and it was not my thing right kept about four inches apart probably when -- to build one by six with a lot cheaper than life. She's an interesting her because they have an overlay they have the originals cedar shakes Seattle overlay of proposition. Yeah. Enable related again I'm not that the chief group -- says it's. These guys -- they're just cutting right. Right true although players and yet we're gonna take this stuff up and in sections this whole -- comes up."
" The job like this practically -- tear down thief tons of debris -- We have to remove all this roofing material from the property as fast as we can. Our building lot here in Malibu is so small that we have no place that pile up the debris. Keeping up with the volume of waste material means several pick ups a day. And we contracted with a local Waste Management company to provide this service. Each one of these dumpsters will hold forty yards of plaster and wood and torn and twisted metal. The company charges by volume not my weight. So it pays to pack the dumpsters as efficiently as possible. Although most of this material will end up in the landfill. The state of California is pioneering the recycling of the waste product of remodeling. And our site one dumpster gets picked up early in the morning an empty one is left behind for an afternoon picked up. We'll do this for three or four days straight to my demolition is completed in the last broken timbers all the way."
" What Joe this is an incredible demolition crew but. Are you sure they they were supposed to save -- on not very much -- going to be say this this -- they're all apart this whole bedroom is gone and the ceiling is gone that's right and the walls are gone and then all of this this the kitchen is -- the bathroom is gone that. The chimney is gone the roof his gun and why not just tear down the whole house and then. Build our California Spanish house from scratch."
" If we do that in out on the beach area we have a problem -- you've ever bureaucracy called the coastal commission. If we take the house down essentially create a vacant lot in increases and permit. Time. Considerable yeah so what we're doing here is considered a remodel yeah pretty and take it down just about your four walls of Lee standing. And then we'll be do it in the view remodel so we get permits much quicker. And that we're able to move along my back plus some of what's -- off."
" It's pretty hefty that's quite a girt up there the six by fourteen beam that's a timber that. Pretty common in this area I suppose than those -- Joist hangers that are up there pretty you float joist hanger there are really unusual -- they pretty much beat the house if you look at them closely I think you'll see that these are. -- about. At twelve gauge pieces beyond June -- down in today's construction views it's a wider sheet metal sure anger and and it. And out of the wall back there is a pretty and usually frame well it's unusual in the sense that what we've got in here these -- blocks are like -- Our herringbone blocks. The studs are sixteen inches on senator yeah. In today's framing a plot to just you know horizontal line yeah no miter cut on and that's way grades that angled piece probably indicates that the sheeting on the houses. Just boards rather than plywood. Well that's that's -- let embrace that provides two functions once -- up on the line upbringing as he goes on altogether diagnosed frank about one thing's for sure the original house was pretty well built."
