Day 5

The tile is like 99% up! The remainder is just the edges where the tile is actually being left in the house. I was excited to see it all gone, okay not gone, cause there are still tile piles all over the downstairs, but you know what I mean!

Here's a good picture of one of the reasons we are updating the stairs, to the right you can see the front door, to the left see the wall.  You walk into the front door right into a wall. Yeah, we're hoping the railing will open up that area. 

This room had vinyl flooring, I know what you're thinking... Why would you remove such a classy floor.  Sorry folks, sacrifices sometimes need to be made.  Oh, and that wasn't the only vinyl flooring in the house... lucky us. The previous owner liked vinyl flooring about as much as they liked brass fixtures.

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!

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 ...
