Re: Small Addition I Started Yesterday


I notice no meter in the can. Is this an empty house?

By the way, that form material looks almost too nice to use for forms.

Yes my guys did the interior demo about two weeks ago .the house is going out on the side the back the front and up. After we do the new foundation walls we will be demo the existing foundation walls (poured concrete) I guess wil be bringing in the hammer. The forms are from 8 to 48 months old we try to keep them semi clean and oil them the first time we use them.

Re: Small Addition I Started Yesterday


Here are some pics of me drilling the existing concrete walls so we can load the holes with Da'mite an expansive grout so we can demo the walls.

Yeah, we just pull/push the foundation walls in and pry up the floor slap with just the bucket of the trackhoe. No breaker or expansive grout here.

The 160 was on a nother job. And not all the walls were coming down only a section and the floors and footings have to stay.
