I really don’t want to have to remove the walls. Its a lot of work and VHS will not gain much if any value from it. The wall between the bunker and the dance studio is also an illegal wall that she put up. I have no sympathy for our sub leasing land lord that fucked us.
I have been told, I have not looked this up for myself.
Commercial leases are different then residential leases, We do not have to take down improvements and most modifications to the space. We should be allowed to leave up the wall even if it has a whole in it for the laser to come out.
Saying all this. I have been told to take it down as part of the space clean up.
So that’s what I am doing.
Are there useful building materials in the wall we can use to build new walls in the cook street space?I can help take the wall down saturday and sunday
The thing that is puzzling me about this exercise is the timing. If we have the time to remove all the stuff and then take the wall down I think we should do it. It is not horrible work and there is probably $500 in lumber we can recover and reuse. Also there is a quite a lot of sound insulation we can recover (with some care) - this stuff is expensive.
We should ask someone about the terms of our exit. It seems we already have a verbal agreement to remove the wall so we might be stuck. Look at the space we’re contemplating moving into. I would suggest the existing tenant installed the floors and mirrors and are leaving them for us to deal with.
Inez: no, drywall is not reusable - it crumbles as you remove it. We talked about using plywood (which would be reusable) but it was too heavy safely lift so high and more expensive. You also don’t get the smooth look. We should consider removing the plywood.
Drywall is a little more expensive to dispose of than rubbish but the real issue is that it needs to be separated. If we can stack it onto pallets and into bins we can rent a truck and take it over the 2nd narrows to the disposal centre just on the other side.
