Our
First Week of Home-Ownership
|
We're officially homeowners!! |
|
Now that we have a home... let's
start tearing it apart!
Our first big project was prepping the basement for waterproofing.
Which required that we do a lot of "demo"" work (which is
actually kinda fun!). The worst part was ripping out the old
bathroom in the basement (you can kind of see it behind Janet).
Here's Janet making good progress on the first of several walls that we
removed. |
|
Jordan is enjoying this opportunity
to use power tools! |
|
Making progress! This is
the same
angle as the two shots above - but with the entire bathroom removed
(including two interior walls, shower and toilet). |
|
Janet is removing the old ceiling
tiles.
This wasn't really necessary for the waterproofing, but once
we
started with the home improvement projects we just couldn't stop!
Note the mask - safety first! |
|
The laundry room wall was
the next to go. |
|
Bye bye gross old shower and toilet!! |
|
We also chipped off all of the old
tile off of the laundry room floor. |
|
Luke, Kate and Olivia stopped by -
and they were a big help! |
|
More fun with power tools!
Here,
Jordan is cutting a hole in the wall between the laundry room and the
workshop. This was the last wall that we had to cut - got it
all
done by Sunday evening - just in time for the men with jackhammers to arrive... |
