Gutting a Historic Philadelphia Townhouse (week 2)

You are so unfazed by the work that keeps coming up.

On the older ones, the plans change too much to worry. Once demo finishes, we can really dial in a plan. Until then, it’s all speculative. Thanks for watching!

If I was younger, I would love doing demo. We do take wood trim and doors out of over 100 year old houses being torn down in our small town. Thank you for the video!

Thanks for watching and for the comment! It’s a tricky balance for us, we want to save everything lol. The basement of this one was clad in cedar - we’re gonna use it for the roof of an exterior covered porch.

@@GreenBuildingNetwork We had cedar siding in our basement (1978 ranch) and used it as siding on a shed we built. We find a use for so much, but sometimes it just has to be put in the landfill. We made a mirror frame out of wide 100 year old baseboard, picture frames out of old gray porch wood, and even a mat for a picture frame out of bald-faced hornet nest paper. I am so excited to see how your house turns out!
