Demolition and remodeling has begun...

Dave started the demolition by ripping off the paneling in both bedrooms! We discovered some fabulous original wallpaper!!! After ripping off the paneling, David started the demolition of the guest bath and closet area. This was a process because the walls were SOLID wood…he is such a hard worker!! We are changing the dimensions of the quest bath, so he also had to redo and rearrange the plumbing. The demolition of the bathroom was completed prior to moving in; however not ALL of the new fixtures were in yet….our toilet didn’t get put until day 2 of the living in the house, needless to day we were thankful for that….memories, memories…!!!

David had been working non-stop on getting the bathroom in order. We got our hot water turned on this past Monday, which was wonderful; however, with it being sooo hot, it really hasn’t been all that bad. The hot water was process. Dave had to get under the house to redo all the gas lines. I wish I had pictures of him doing that because he had to wear a Big black trash sack to help keep the mud and pesticides off of him while under the house, poor guy, what a trooper. Then we had trouble with getting the valve turned on at the cities gas connection, so they came out on Monday and got us all set up with hot water!!!

Since Monday, Dave has been working on tiling the tub area. It has been a little longer process than he hoped; however, he did ALL the tiling by himself, I am soo proud of him, it was his 1st time and he did an awesome job! The tile that we ordered for the floor in the bathroom was ordered wrong, bummer, so that will be a little delay, which I am sure will not be the first delay…I guess that is just how is goes. Today he will start grouting the tile!
