And the Wall Comes Tumbling Down!

Before Demo of Rock Wall
Removing the first rocks.


Surprise!....there's another wall!

Stuccoed cinder block wall exposed.

The rock and cinder block walls are gone!

Post Demo Ruble!
Well, it finally happen.  We took down the Rock Wall! The ugliest feature of this old house house was an enclosed front porch. Somewhere along the way a previous owner decided to add more living space by closing off the front porch with a rock wall. We decided it was time to tear down that ugly rock wall when the foundation guys noticed that cracks had developed along the mortar seams when the house being lifted during the foundation repair, making the rock wall a little unstable and unsafe.  After a very brief high level discussion we came to the conclusion that it was time for that rock wall to come tumbling down! Bringing down the rock wall was easy but behind the rock was another wall made of cinder block and behind that wall was a framed out wall! This little enclosure was built like a bunker!
