First Tear Down

The last people that lived in our house "finished" our basement. However, they did not get a permit and they did not follow sound building practices. For example, all the studs in the non-load bearing partitions were more than 16" apart from each other and some studs were even more than 24" from each other. I suppose that is one way to cut your basement finish costs...

Needless to say, we had to tear out everything that they did. Since we are living in our basement while we do this remodel we tore down the west side of the basement first. Here are some pics of what that looked like right after we tore everything out:
