" David you're in that it. Midst of doing another apartment make over here in this. And it -- it yes so I think that's one of the reasons we wanted to talk figures are you've already got some experience dealing with an apartment project yeah. How do you get started I mean. Is now I can do demolition in the neighborhood and house someplace very can throw things out the window into a truck or a dumpster how do you approach this war."
" the contractor command and take care of removing. And carpet and stuff first and then -- it couldn't have -- turned on the walls and remove the appliances and gather everything up and kind of group things together and then he'll have a crew commandment and take the debris out all at one time so that it kind of minimizes the disturbance in the building."
" I see so stuff like this horrible Warren of little closets and and and hallways that we've got in this entire quadrant of the apartment. Everything will be disassembled. Bundled up. And set aside. Until. Until you've got everything dismantled and then they take it out exactly yeah we'll get everything down just to whatever can stay in place like AC all right. So when is he -- here. I addition here anytime you're -- break now in here that the plan is to instead of just having a little door into the bedroom. Create a six foot wide opening in the center of the wall. -- would be right there. And have to pocket doors so in terms of its demolition. You turn on -- whole wall yeah -- just remove the whole wall and then rebuild. The wall for the pocket doors as you gotta make a double wall so that there's room for the doors -- pocket doors -- OK so there's no point trying to salvage any of the existing wall no that'll all go -- up as it. -- up there and then this. Gets torn down back to here because there's a big walk in closet there but we're gonna converted into just a regular closet so we can have big open space there right exactly. Bob here's -- I just so Liberia. Just he's been doing a lot of the demolition work from their small jobs like this okay so Jolson where you get started on someone that -- first who have taken rug out OK and I was gonna cut in the middle. And it and then roll it who decided to walk yet. -- The rug is maybe somebody can use it right yes it's. Pretty good condition all right well we'll get -- it was just watch -- OK. Now this pad has absolutely no future right this stuff that just goes into the dumpster -- these security tubes. Bottom. Good. I -- going -- and shut off the breakers should take down that chandelier now that's quite a light fixture. Okay. Homes through. I think about it. She didn't. Related -- flea market yes sir. OK now we've still got that back wall -- we have to take cabinets out of the kitchen cabinets first let's take a look."
