DMC is expanding again! After relocating to our office at 2222 N. Elston Avenue last year we quickly outgrew the space and needed to take over more of the building.
Rather than a traditional ground breaking ceremony, we decided to have a wall destroying party. So, a couple of weeks ago, after the previous occupants moved out, we took out some of our aggressions on a hapless partition wall with the most destructive implement we could find - a crow bar (next time we'll plan better and get a 20 pound sledge hammer).
Photos & videos of the mayhem are below. Also towards the bottom you can see the results of real demo crews. Check back in in a couple of weeks for an update on the progress. Also at that time we will reveal the naming of our new rooms!

Jason takes his swing right before going in to try to kick the wall down.
Alex gets his aggression out on the wall while dust is starting to take its toll on the digital photos.
Eric is just a little too happy with his destruction.
Sam is sizing up the wall for his killer blow.
The results of our massive destruction. Perhaps we should stick to engineering & software development.
The rest of the pictures below are after the professionals came in to take care of business. I think that we did a good job starting things off for them. Also, make sure to scroll to the bottom for the action-packed videos.
