Day 2

It's pretty amazing what can happen in 2 days.  We showed up at the house at the end of the second day and found our stairs looking rather bare. Carpet is getting removed, the half wall is coming down to make way for the banister and balustrades. The Stairs need to be lengthened to overhang the wall and look right (they are too short due to the half wall). I can't wait to see what this is going to look like finished. This was the first project that we wanted to do and the most intensive. It's already opening up the entryway!



We were so excited to see so much of the drywall on the stairs removed we almost didn't notice the bathroom sink and cabinets in the front room!


Turns out our tile doesn't want to be removed! It's giving the guys a pretty hard time, sorry tile.  


 WOW, the bathroom didn't look like this yesterday.  All the stuff in the front room came from here.  I put a picture of what the vanity will look like in about a month.


Shower and tub are out too! This is where it get's exciting see you later tub that never get's used.  Sorry for all those tub users out there, but I've got no use for one, plus who likes a tiny shower?


 Here's what the new shower will look like, sure the shower is bigger then our first apartments whole bathroom, but that's not saying much. Notice the nice big double shower heads, and the extra storage!

Day 13

Closets are getting their update.  Out with the old sliding mirror doors. We knew that the master closets needed some updating, but the solution wasn't straightforward. So our contractor suggested we make the entry smaller and add two normal doors to pull the closets into this century. The his and hers closets are across the hall from each other and huge doors would hit, if we wanted to be in our closets at the same time. Solution: Smaller doors and offset entrances. The funny thing the opening is actually bigger now, even though they are framing it for doors to fit.  Why does my closet already have more stuff in it? Former shower space, now has the framing for cabinets.  Master Shower plumbing, is coming along.  Squee! Master vanity! 2nd Bath has plumbing exposed and new hardware ready to be installed. Good thing our drywall is getting replaced, that looks a little water damaged! 2nd Bath has cabinets too!

Day 4 - A little of this and that.

I'm impressed that so many people care about our little reno... I guess that's why there's a whole channel devoted to this stuff.  Well, I am here to please, here's today's update! What happened to day 3? It was a Sunday, how dare you expect them to work on a Sunday (you're all monsters)! Here's my day 4 recap.  Much of the same.  Progress was made on the tile removal, it's slow going but at least it's progress. So not a ton of picture progress today, sorry! The demo is slow going right now, but a few fun things happened while I was at the house today! I met a nice neighbor at the mailbox.  She was asking me if I knew if the house on the corner was going on the market... as a matter of fact, I know that it has already sold ;) Speaking of the mail box, thankfully my teenager was able to get the mail key to work and then proceed to teach me how to do it. Of course, this was after he figured out how get out of the backyard using ...
