Demolish Remaining Wall Sections and Pony Wall
At 13:34 in
Creating Open Concept in 6 Old Abandoned House
What happens here
Carefully remove any remaining non-load-bearing wall sections that were previously identified. Use a hammer and pry bar to break apart drywall and expose studs. When encountering a 'pony wall' (a short wall not extending to the ceiling), assess its structural integrity. If it's not supporting ceiling joists, proceed with demolition. Be wary of pests (like black widow spiders, as encountered in the video) and exposed electrical wires or poor insulation within these older structures. Continue to use dust control methods, such as regular debris removal and ventilation, to manage airborne particles.
Goal: Continue removing non-load-bearing wall sections and safely dismantle any unsupported 'pony walls' or partial walls, while being cautious of hidden insects or electrical wires.
