Good Bye Wall

The past 2 1/2 weeks we've been busy at work but I haven't taken many pictures. Paul and Will came over to help us last week and we finished taking down the wall in the kitchen. There is now a toilet in our kitchen.

After removing the shower, we discovered that some of the subflooring is rotting away from water damage. So since we have everything up, we're going to patch good portion of that. The bathroom was "updated" in 1979 so that's 27 years of water corrosion. Yuck. At least we caught it now while the place is destroyed and before it got really bad.

We've been removing parts of the kitchen floor in preparation for our cabinets to be delivered on May 7th. There are about 4 or 5 floors to cut through in the kitchen and it's like a rainbow of decades when removing it. We're going to try to restore the hardwoods in the kitchen...but we're not sure if it will look good since there is this tar glue from the 40s on them. Since the hardwoods are about 3/4" thick, we have a lot of room for sanding. If not, we'll just get some cheapo tiles or laminate to hold us over.

This weekend's goal is to finish the basement stairs (almost there) and to finish cutting out the floor we need to move. We'll probably also have to fix that subfloor. I don't think there is enough hours in a weekend to do this, but we'll see.
