Demo, 99% complete

We are making progress. All but the plywood under our 2nd toilet has been pulled out, and most of it is already at the dump. The demo phase is the worst -- lots of mess and it always looks worse before it gets better! Here are a few fun photos:

Most of the subfloor has been repaired (we discovered a rather large hole right underneath the toilet -- it's a wonder we never fell through!):


Look at our new plumbing, and we finally have outlets! No more hair drying in the guest room:

When we ripped out the tile in the 1/2 bath, we left a very nice open wall in between the 2 bathrooms. So, we just tacked up a towel for privacy!:


Here we are scraping about 10 layers of paint off the wall. As you can see, the original color was pink. When we moved in, it was seafoam green, and it took us 4 coats of white to cover it up. There was another white and I think a beige layer in there, too. We're pretty sure some of those layers have to be lead-based:


Then all the walls of the small bathroom were removed, including the one the sink was attached to! There was an attempt to keep this one working at least for a few more days, but unfortunately it has seen its end. It is currently hanging out in our carport, and I hear it trembles in fear when it hears Lisa's car approaching:


So what is still working in our bathrooms you may ask? Well, the shower still works (that's cardboard behind the plastic protecting the beams and insulation):

The toilet, although I hear that might be coming out soon. Good thing Food Lion is nearby!:


And here is our new bathroom sink, aka the kitchen sink. It's kind of like camping.


I think we may have just about reached the valley, and the only way to go from here is up!
