Part 4/10:
Today’s primary goal is the demolition of existing framing to make way for new construction. The narrator discusses plans to replace the old structure with a wall supported directly on a concrete slab, necessitating the removal of framing that was originally built for a different purpose. Using a new shovel, he carefully excavates the dirt, aiming to prepare a level foundation for upcoming concrete pouring.
The work involves detailing the removal process, troubleshooting stubborn screws, and navigating the challenges of old construction—such as screws hidden beneath layers of joint compound or metal roofing. Despite frustrations with tools and weathering physical setbacks, the sense of progress is palpable.
