[quote=Anonymous]Demo is really easy, but you should be careful when doing it. I would do it in stages (don't just start swinging with -sledge hammer. Put a drop cloth (old sheet will work) and remove the drywall in pieces to expose the studs and any internal wiring/pipes (make a small hole and then pull off pieces of the dry wall with crow bar. Be careful near the ceiling/adjacent walls because you don't want to unnecessarily destroy the those surfaces and have to redo them as well (I would score the adjacent walls/ceiling by running a utility knife a few inches from the wall being removed). Once you have removed the drywall, you can verify that wires/pipes are not present, and call a plumber/electrician as needed. After that, you start whacking with a sledge hammer to remove the studs.[/quote]
