What happens here

Begin by removing the existing staircase structures. Ensure all safety precautions are taken: wear safety goggles, gloves, and protective footwear (boots). Before starting any demolition, turn off the power to the room to avoid hitting electrical cables and creating a hazard. Use a hammer to break through drywall and a reciprocating saw or utility knife for larger sections. Pre-cutting sections of drywall and the old banister can help control the demolition process and prevent excessive damage.

Goal: Remove old drywall, carpet, and banister structure

all right boys and girls the funnest part of any home-improvement project is of course demo day make sure that you're safe use goggles gloves boots as you see my wife decide to be a little too cute and didn't putting shoes on for the first couple of hits against the wall that's on her but she's safe now and then make sure you kill the power you don't want have power running through that room you don't want to hit any of the cables and create a disaster there so once that's done it's helpful to pre-cut a lot of the sections you'll be breaking down that way doesn't demo way too much stuff and creating more problems laying down the road and then find the biggest hammer you got and then start whacking everything down and let your imagination roam free see that blank canvas that you're creating all
