Renovation - July 27th
Photos of Zocalo's Renovation including demolition of the floors and removal of the roaster!
   

Counters are gone, appliances are going...
For those familiar with JavaGym, this was the office.
Then goes the bathroom and dividing walls.
The floors, the root cause of all this mess...
a mishmash of concrete and woodl, required a lot of work
to remove by hand before they could bring in a bobcat.
Cassi visits the worksite.
Looking from the JavaGym to the front of the building.
So, how to get a Bobcat in? Cut a big hole!
And this hole is cut to fit a Bobcat.
Just barely.
And off to work removing the floors, concrete and all.
Combine the Bobcat with this huge jackhammer...
And you get this! It really, really rips up the floors.
Piles of carpet and other junk from the flooring.
Off to waste disposal.
Time to remove the Roaster.
Look at all the hard working folks!
The afterburner portion, fortunately not too heavy.
And into the storage container.
Now we bring out the main barrel. 600+ lbs.
They move it on rolling pipe. And really get it going fast!
Dean supervises as he's done this before.
It gets heaved into the storage container, very top heavy.
And then...
It's in.
Then the rest of the floors can go away.
The old plumbing, etc.
And the Bobcat makes quick work of it.
We're down to dirt and time to planning sewer pipes.
Trenches are dug to provide pipes for two bathrooms.
And then we're ready to start plumbing.
Which will have to be in the next set of pictures.
A relaxing meeting with contractors, Hank and Chris.
