Demo in Sam's room


Rear wall


Closet wall

Each piece of paneling was individually nailed to the wall with 16d finish nails. For the non construction inclined, that means they nails were really big and it was all I could do to get the boards off the wall without snapping each one. We are going to either try and re-sell the wood or re-purpose it.
