I'll talk more about the kitchen in a later post but these cabinets were in terrible shape and also weren't able to be removed in one piece.


The boards for the new floor.

Goodbye, drywall!

My mom and I demolished the shelf in the bathroom and took off the boards supporting the old bathtub surround on the wall.



We painted the sub floor to try to get rid of the house smell even more.



We decided to remove the drywall for a few reasons:
- We wanted to go over the electrical and make sure everything was working correctly.
- The drywall itself was kind of bad and easier to replace than to repair.
- The drywall smelled terrible and the only way to get rid of the smell was to get rid of it.

A recap of what has been going on at our house!



The toilet and plywood sub-floor were taken out.


The medicine cabinet mirrors were taken down and put away. I'm hoping to use them in the bathroom again.


The tub is gone! You can see the medicine cabinets on the shelf over there.



The sub-floor is gone in the living room and the boards are there for the new floor.

We were originally going to raise that floor back up, but figured the easiest thing to do would be to build a new floor on top. The floor underneath was glued down so even though raising the actual floor wouldn't be impossible, it was just easier to build a new floor.

Also, remember how I was hoping there were hard wood floors underneath all of that plywood?  Well, there's more plywood underneath!  I'm sad that there's not a floor underneath there, but I'm ecstatic that they didn't leave the nasty floor that could have been underneath.
