Before & After

Before & After

Here, you can check out our sandblasting test. The building had a fire in it sometime in the mid-1900s. We weren't sure how it would hold up after being sandblasted... But it actually created a really cool effect.

You can also see that some parts of the roof were so far gone that they had to be entirely replaced. Luckily, the majority of the plywood is obscured by the build out.
