Day Eleven

We’re nearing the end of Rusty’s deconstruction! Despite the rain today, the last of the roof was taken off, and there are only about four interior wall panels left. Another metal spacer was also found in the roof, which spanned the width of the house and served the same function as the one found in the ceiling earlier. The utility closet was also removed from the house. It is all in one piece, and originally held the furnace but then became a storage closet after renovations to the house in the 1980s.

As well as disassembling more of the walls and ceilings, almost all the insulation has been taken out, bagged, and trashed. Over the next couple days the Milner + Carr workers will take out the remaining wall panels and remove the corroded metal sill that's bolted to the foundation, while documenting the parts and carefully packing them for transportation to Philadelphia.
