Finally starting on the building demo. Hoping to have everything stripped out by this weekend. Definitely not one of my favorite jobs.

I'm not a fan of demo either. That make it look like fun on the TV Shows, but all they are doing is creating a bigger mess.
Are you going to save that insulation? I had a client do that. They filled up two storage sheds with it and lost about half because of moisture. In the end, I didn't think it saved them anything, but they felt it was a great idea.

The insulation is the only thing I'm saving. Ive been rolling it back up and putting on pallets. Plenty of shop space on the back half of the building to store it. I plan to use it in the walls after we frame them up.
Ceiling is stripped. Planning to role up the insulation tomorrow and drop the rest of the grid. Ill be glad when this part of the project is done.

Smart getting that scissor lift. I was wondering how you where doing this.
The scissor lift was well worth the rental rate. I can't imaging doing the work without it. All of the ceiling is stripped. I ended up taking all of the tiles and insulation out first then came back and dropped the grid. With the lift I was able to pile a couple of rows of tiles on top of the lift at a time and then drive it right out the building to the dumpster and toss in without ever getting off. Hoping to start tearing out sheetrock tomorrow afternoon.
Heading to Olathe KS tomorrow to pick up a couple of barn doors that I bought at auction. I plan to use them on the inside of the south end of the building. I have a set of patio doors going in there. The barn doors will frame the patio doors and also be able slide to cover the patio doors and serve as part of a wedding backdrop for inside weddings. Originally I planned to make them myself, however for the price I couldn't pass them up. They were very similar to what I had in mind to build. Paid $460 for the pair. They were custom built and never installed. 9' x 5' walnut and pine and included the rolling hardware. I'll post some pics when I get them home.
Also picked up bathroom tile today. Tile work for bathroom remodel starts later this week.

It's amazing what materials cost, and when you add your time into it, I've found it always cheaper to buy already made if you can.
