To the Studs!

Demolition took 8 working days.  One crew in the house and one crew outside removing the EIFS.  This is what the house looks like taking it down to the studs - windows gone, HVAC gone, insulation gone, everything.

On the back porch off the kitchen the wood planter box is gone.  Now we need a railing.

With the EIFS gutters removed, we had to scab on rafter extensions so the roof would overhang the house - you can see them if you click on this photo for a larger view and look closely.

There were several areas in the existing house with flat roof sections.  We are converting all flat roofs to pitched roofs.  In this photo you can see the rafters going over the bay window (formerly flat roof) around the master bath tub.

Here are Pappy and Skip installing the Hardie soffit and fascia board.

And finally a view from the front yard where you can see the new roofline begin to take shape:
