Dear Karen,

While the walls are torn away exposing the rock wall foundation of our 90-year old house, is that a good time to do some Space Clearing especially around those walls?

Karen's reply:

It's best to do a Space Clearing ceremony before the contractors begin work and again after they have finished. Buildings always need to be reconsecrating after such intensive work.

If you are in the middle of building work and are experiencing difficulties with its progress, it is very worthwhile to halt the work for a day, give the contractors a day off, and space clear the building.

One of my practitioners has a client who is a contractor, and he always includes the price of a Space Clearig ceremony in the budget for any remodelling job he takes on because he has found everything goes so much more smoothly when this is done. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense - if clapping in corners causes stuck energy to disperse, think how much more energetic debris comes out of the walls when workmen start hammering or tearing things down.
