San Francisco Construction Phase #1: Demolition
Demolition is definitely one of the more exciting but also nerve-wracking parts of the construction process. It’s exciting because it means that we are on our way to building out our dream space, but also scary because you never know what to expect when you start tearing things apart.
In case you missed our “We’re opening in SF!” post, here is a photo of what the space looked like at the very beginning, minus a few holes we cut out to see what’s behind the wall.
The guys from Greentree got right to work as soon as we got the job permit from the City of San Francisco.
The existing walls looked really nice and pristine... but we discovered that there was about a foot of usable space on each side of the walls, and wanted to gain as much square footage as possible... so we had to tear it all down!
It didn’t take too much time for the walls to come down.
It got pretty dusty with all of the sheetrock coming down, so we didn’t take many photos during the process.
But the space cleaned up pretty nicely!
Our next post will cover Phase #2: Framing--stay tuned!
