Day 1 - Massive Remodel

Initial destruction of the house - family room fireplace turns out to be very unstable. The outside "facade" is structural and the inside flu is built on top of the fireplace extraordinaire box. Pulling it out will bring down the chimney and you can't put a fireplace insert in there. So we decided to bring down the whole chimney. Day 1 and we already are spending more - YIKES.
