Demolition of Stone Veneer & Windows

What happens here

With the awning removed, the focus shifts to the building's main facade. The ASV RT-75 Posi-Track skid steer is used to remove large, heavy boulders that form part of the lower facade. This is done by carefully maneuvering the skid steer's bucket to dislodge and carry away the rocks. Simultaneously, crew members using ladders and hand tools (like pry bars) begin detaching the stone veneer from the wall. The windows are also carefully removed to prevent damage to the remaining structure and for eventual replacement. The process further exposes the extensive rot in the OSB beneath the facade, confirming the severe water damage and highlighting the need for a complete structural rebuild.

Goal: This step focuses on removing the decorative stone veneer and existing windows, exposing the severely damaged underlying wall structure.
