Day Four

Week one of Rusty’s deconstruction is complete! Today the wooden portico over the front entry and the entrance to the garage was taken off. This finished up the work on the house for the week, mainly leaving just the metal wall and roof panels for deconstruction next week. The wood is for the most part still in good condition, and will be able to be restored and used in the reconstructed house. With the portico taken down all the wooden parts of the house have been removed, and they will all be packed up and shipped to Philadelphia for restoration.

There is still part of the flat roof that will be taken off Monday, along with the insulation within panels. These will both have to be taken out before the steel panels can be removed. Early next week the deconstruction of the actual steel panels begins, and we’re on track to have Rusty completely taken apart by the end of next week!
