old appliances. Based on access limitations and logistics, all
material from demolition was routed through window to truck. This
photo was taken at beginning stages of project. |

| Scope of work was to convert this apartment building into individual
condominiums. Painting, framing, electrical work notwithstanding, an
area sometimes overlooked is the need to work with public utilities

Demolishing existing walls, to gain access to wiring and plumbing,
was one of the first steps. This was preceded only by removing
old appliances. The rear of the building was the staging area,
from where the appliances were picked up. Note that this photo
depicts the beginning of what became a huge gathering of
assorted appliances |

Though the existing cosmetics (paint condition, paint color, etc)
was satisfactory, there were areas that should have been better
planned, like the landscaping. It should be noted that the entire
process of remodeling was an ongoing joint effort (between
property owner and "A Better Way") to reach agreement on new
color schemes and landscaping (plants vs. grass vs. stones, etc).

request), which resulted in some last-minute touch-up. This photo
was taken with 95% of the work already complete. |
