We began two weeks ago. Some guys we use to work with at the beach came up for the majority of the week to help us out. They were great! The drawings have us removing most of the walls in the house. Because the existing hardwood floors are in such incredible shape, we want to reuse them and needed to be careful not to damage them during demo. Our plan is to weave (http://www.hgtv.com/home-improvement/hardwood-floor-patch/index.html ) in new wood flooring where walls were removed and add additional wood flooring to match in the additional areas. We will sand all the floors down and stain them with a very dark stain to get a nice even feel. The roof will come off next week when they begin framing.
The inside of the house certainly looks different with all the walls down. Here are a few pictures of the process.
Before they started tearing out the walls, I grabbed a few items out of the house that I am certain you will see again somewhere in the finished house…refinished of course.
