Demolition Job
Started off with the demolition of the old Tin Tabernacle .
Had some quotes by local guys which where all nuts. (from 5000GBP upwards)
So decided to crack on with the job myself and called in a few favours from mates.
Took forever so far and is still not finished but will be a lot cheaper (500GBP in total approx)
The Tin Tabernacle to Start with. Smashed to pieces by teenagers from outside and inside.
1.Step : Emptying theBuilding of all smashed Plasterboard ceilings/walls, furniture and Insualtion.
Step 2: Taking the Roof off
STEP 3 : Taking Roof Trusses and Walls (incl. Cladding) down
Step 4: Talking Floorboards up (for re-using them in the new house)
If you are demolishing a timber frame, Get good quality crowbars. and Possibly a Floorboard lifting bar.
I started off without this and bought it later on and it was so much easier. It s maybe 50-60 quid for proper demolition tools, but makes life so much easier . Specially the Floorboard lifting bar.

If you are demolish a Tim Tabernacle, sometimes museums-of-life want them and will collect. Probably not here, though.
