Demolish Existing Mudroom & Closet

What happens here

Begin by removing all coats, shoes, bags, and miscellaneous items from the mudroom area and the attached closet. Once clear, use a utility knife to score and cut along caulk lines where trim meets walls to facilitate cleaner removal. Systematically remove existing shelves, coat hooks, and the built-in bench. Utilize a hammer or pry bar to break apart and remove sections of drywall and the underlying wood framing that define the old closet space, creating an open area for the new construction. Load all demolition debris into a truck or suitable container for disposal.

Goal: Clear out all items from the existing mudroom space and adjacent closet, then proceed to carefully dismantle and remove the existing shelves, hooks, bench, drywall, and wood framing to prepare for the new built-in unit.
