It's begun

For better or worse, our remodeling plans have started.  We're trying to get the house in shape to sell next spring.  The biggest part of that is the middle floor bathroom, which was still pretty much the same as when the house was built in 1959. I have to admit, I was never very fond of the turquoise and yellow combination that the bathroom was done in, but even if you really like that combination, the whole bathroom had to be gutted to help sell the house, leaky pipes and all.  Today they started the demolition.  Check it out:

The view from the bathroom door.

The right side of the bathroom, where you can still see half of the cast iron tub that was there.

The left side of the bathroom, where the vanity and medicine cabinet was.

The center wall of the bathroom, with all the tiles peeled away you can see the bones of the house.

The amazing amount of stuff they took out, all just in today, the first day.  You can sort of see the turquoise and yellow tiles we used to have in there.

I'll post more pictures so people can track the progress.  It was very noisy, but what can you expect, really?  They were very clean though, there was a small layer of dust near the entrance to the bathroom, but otherwise not a thing to show what they had done.
