Facade Assessment & Initial Awning Removal

What happens here

The team performs a close inspection of the existing awning structure, identifying how it is connected to the building. This reveals severely rotted OSB (Oriented Strand Board) directly behind the facade, raising concerns about potential structural instability during demolition. To mitigate risks and begin the facade dismantling, the ASV RT-75 Posi-Track skid steer, equipped with a fork attachment, is used to gently pry and lift the large wooden awning structure away from the building. This process requires precision to prevent damage to potentially compromised parts of the house and to allow full visibility of the underlying wall.

Goal: Before active demolition, the crew conducts a detailed inspection of the awning's attachment points and the underlying structural integrity, uncovering critical issues. The large wooden awning is then carefully detached from the house using heavy machinery.
