What happens here

Using a sledgehammer and a pry bar, the homeowner systematically demolishes the drywall walls of the understairs closet. He starts by striking the drywall with the sledgehammer and then uses the pry bar to remove larger sections. This process creates an open shell, exposing the internal studs and wiring. The demolition involves breaking through the walls to connect the previously enclosed closet space with the main living area, crucial for the open concept beverage bar and storage area.

Goal: Break down the drywall of the understairs closet to open up the space, removing both the front-facing and internal walls.
