This is how it begins

After scraping the walls and floor I have discovered that there is an extra three feet of concrete that has been poured on top of the original floor. Someone a long time ago poured a floor on top of a floor. Really. In order to get up to code and make the entrance handicap accessible I am going to need to get rid of that extra concrete. Worried about getting a dumpster for fear of getting caught doing demolition without a permit.

Met with two architects this week. One good, one bad. The good one told me to go it alone. The bad one asked for five grand.
