And the walls

Ok, Day 2 of serious demo. The project was to get as much of the paneling out as possible. Here, I used the prybar/nail puller. A lot. There were so many paneling nails in there. So, I basically just pounded the nail puller side into the paneling wherever there was a nail. Often, the nail puller caught hold and I was able to just pull the nail out and move on to the next one. Some of them were stubborn little buggers, though, and try as I might, I just couldn't get the nail puller around the nail. Luckily, these were mostly in the middle of the panels, though, so once I got as many of the nails out as I could, I used the multi-tool to saw around the top of the panel (next to the ceiling). I went slow and tried to start prying the paneling back bit by bit to make sure I wasn't cutting into anything crucial.

Cutting around the wheel well was a bit tricky. It's not like the multi-tool is lightweight and I didn't feel like I had a lot of control, but ultimately it worked out okay. I kept going back over it as often as I needed to, to get the cut as close to the wheel well as possible. There was no wiggling the paneling out from behind it, and the paneling was attached at the floor somehow, so my only option was to cut around the wheel well. 

Here are some shots with the first couple of pieces of paneling off. Once I got going, it was easier. (Don't get me wrong, it wasn't "easy" by any means, but the more pieces that came off, the easier it was to get at what I needed to for the next piece.) Pulling nails was by far the most tedious part so far. 

Curbside and back paneling off for today. This was about 3-4 hours work for me by myself. Not too bad. Interesting wiring in there!
