More Demolition

Yesterday, my crew of helpers and I knocked down another wall in the basement. I think that's the last of any drywall demolition though we still have two plaster walls upstairs to remove then we'll start framing in the new spaces. That will be really exciting for me though not as much fun for the kids. William really enjoyed wielding the hammer! The girls were big helpers with pulling drywall and nails, and loading the dump trailer. Of course, they all earned a pizza break.

Another Wall Down!

With some help from friends, we labored all Labor Day weekend and took out another wall in the basement. In an effort to gain 6 more inches in the bathroom we took down the original wall and will rebuild it around the large pipe in the picture. But before that happens we'll break into the concrete for all the bathroom plumbing and through to the next room for a washing machine drain and a floor drain. That project should prove to be pretty messy, but hey, the progress is evident (though I'm not sure my dad sees it as progress)!
