In order to convert the space for our use, the middle apartment needed to be totally gutted, the shop, partially gutted, the wall between them penetrated for connecting doors and the apartment repaired, retiled and repainted.

Left: The future rehearsal hall with most of the sheet rock removed exposing the studs
Right:  Loading sheetrock into the trash trailer

Left: The apartment kitchen prior to retiling.  Note that the kitchen is elevated above floor level.
Right: The former kitchen area in  the rehearsal hall.  The arrow points to the concrete washing machine platform and drain trough from when this building was a coin laundry and explains why the two kitchens were above grade!

Left: Looking north from the shop toward the rehearsal hall with the wall penetration for the double loading doors to connect the two spaces.
Right: Looking south from the now open rehearsal hall through the penetration toward the shop.  The only remaining walls in the rehearsal hall will enclose the ADA bathroom and utility closets
