Moving Along....

April 30, 2012- Progress is happening, but slower than I would like. What has happened since we last touched base:



Old floor was tore up and revealed rotten part of the floor. I cut out the bad spot and patched it up with new plywood.



I tore out the toilet and vanity and that let me get rid of all the scrap material in a couple days. Full demo only took about a week total. I ordered a Waste Management Bagster. All flooring, walls, vanity, toilet, sink, shower, tub, etc. fit in the bag. I filled it. They picked it up. Awesome product. Saved me a few trips to the local dump or filling my garbage can for the next 2 months.


So now that the floor and room is cleared, I started to lay in the next layer of flooring. I needed to add a 1/2" plywood to support my tile floor. Thanks to Kate for helping me with the flooring!



More progress made today and last weekend. Look for those updates later this week!

Why Is Destroying Stuff so Fun??

April, 2012- Let the demolition begin! I started tearing into my upstairs bathroom last week. Didn't take long to have it down to the studs and floor. Thanks to my trusty Sawzall and some pent up aggression, the bathroom came apart quite nicely. Minor setbacks along the way are to be expected, but so far, all is off to a great start. Below are some pictures of the demo and current state.



Plumbing out. Ready to Destroy it!

Sawzall makes it easy! And quite enjoyable, but watch out for that electrical...

Getting there.....

Oops.... Seems we have an issue here.

Time to cut out some floor and patch it up.




Electric and plumbing are going in today. Tile arrives next week. This thing is moving! Check back for more updates soon.
