Here is the second chapter in our series on the transformation of an old cottage into a family home.

Out with the old, to clear for the new…

Unfortunately, everything must come to an end sometime. 

It’s always a little sad and a little fun to demo a property.

This property has quite a storied history and we will continue that story well into the future. 

There was even a tavern on this site in the 1940′s. 

Mainly, the cottage has been a rental for several years.

This is the first step in a long journey that will show you many of the latest home building trends.

It looks easy, but there is quite a science to demo a structure safely & dispose of it properly.

The biggest concern is what you don’t see that is under ground.

Mainly, all utilities are accounted for and disconnected as well as purchase of 8, yes 8, permits.
