As demolition progressed, many discoveries and surprises needing attention were far more than initially anticipated.

Before any renovation could start, every physical aspect of the building required days and weeks of demolition to achieve a point where repair and proper construction techniques could be utilised to rebuild.

Every mechanical features (two furnaces, air conditioner/s, water heater, all electrical wiring, heating & cooling distribution ducts, plumbing drains, water lines, fixture etc. etc. etc.) were junk/ed and were replaced with top of the line equipment.
