It continues. Yesterday we had already left the house by the time the contractors came. They found the key we had left them but our lock is very tricky so they couldn't get in and missed a day working on it. They were back at it today, which also happened to be a day off for me (I spent a lot of time with either headphones on or earplugs in, just never try to use both at once, it doesn't work ;-). It's kind of a funny thing, but at least in this stage of renovation, progress is measured by what's missing from your house at the end of the day. For instance, they took up the bathroom floor, leaving only the subfloor. I'm willing to bet most people, if they came home and there was no bathroom floor, would be pretty upset, but we're pretty happy about that. Check it out:
Another weird thing is that while I know technically I've been walking around on these boards that were underneath the tile the entire time I've been in the house, I'm real nervous to set foot on them now. Somehow, now that they're uncovered, they look so much less steady than the tile that used to cover it all. Kind of weird, huh?
Oh, and there's no more plumbing. Which was ok, because it was kind of leaky anyway.
They also started on the guest room. I know what you're thinking, it doesn't look like they did much. Sure, there's a bit of wallpaper torn off but it's not like the bathroom looks.
Even the puppies don't see much difference.
And then you look up. And you realize there's no ceiling where the ceiling should be. And there's no more crown moldings. All gone. But they had to do that to get it all fixed up. That's about it for today. Isn't it amazing how much three or four guys can get done in a day?
