Komara - Demo

Starting the demolition on the existing structure. All of the demolition was done by hand which takes longer. I've been told that in larger cities there are groups of people that will do the demo for you and recycle the materials, using them for habitat house. I think that is a great idea. I wish that we had the ability to do that in our town but our habitat drop-off closed this year.

All that is left is the existing foundation and existing fireplace with chimney. We had to keep some part of the existing structure so that we could continue to use the existing septic system. The new house was designed to retain the existing footprint and keep the same number of bedrooms, otherwise we would have had to install a new septic field.
