We did so much demo! I know I posted about this before, but then I kind of fell of the face of the blogosphere so I wanted to start over with posting this journey. We saved about $2,000 in labour etc. by demoing the bathroom, kitchen and floors ourselves.
The first picture is from the kitchen. We had to pull off drywall and flooring right down to the studs. You can see the subfloor is littered with large holes. This was unexpected and had to be repaired. The second picture is from the hallway looking into the bathroom. There were three layers of vinyl flooring in there! Three! It took forever to pull it all off. Also. Wallpaper. So. Much. Wallpaper. I have so much to say about wall paper I'll save that for another post.
The third photo is another shot of the kitchen. The big red bucket saved us! Even after the water was turned off, this shut off valve just kept leaking! We had to dump it every day. We did get the plumber in eventually to fix it when we were relocating things for the new sink and dishwasher, but sheesh, it was a bit ridiculous for a while there.
