Another one (starts to) bite the dust

I know we haven't finished the wall in the office but we are down to taping and mudding which involves a lot of waiting so I decided to start ripping out the closet in the sunroom. Here's the only "before" picture I have of it. It's just to the right of the door in this picture.

There are several reasons that this closet is going. I don't just randomly rip out closets and yet this is the second one in this house that we have destroyed. This one, unlike the one in the office, is going to be rebuilt. One reason that this one is going is because, like the one in the office, it had small doors and therefore, you couldn't see what was in at least half of the closet space.

The other reason involves the tornado that went through here in 2000. This house was hit by the tornado in this back section and the roof was torn off. Water poured in for several days as they had quite a bit of rain after the tornado. The house was reroofed but the homeowners didn't clean up all the damage from the water. The back of this closet is in terrible shape.
Water damage

Mold and Mildew

Layers of peeling wallpaper

This should have been cleaned up right after the tornado but it wasn't so we're doing it six years later.
