Day 9 of the Remodel

After Day 9 the remaining tile has been removed from the hardwood floor area.  Some interesting things this uncovered.

1. There was linoleum under the tile.
2. There was different linoleum under the wooden rail.
3. The plywood subfloor in the kitchen/breakfast area is about 1/2 an inch taller than the subfloor in the hallway/dining room... 

Not sure how the contractors are going to handle that last item...

The contractors laid carpet pad everywhere so that we don't step on the unfinished floor and cut our feet or anything else.

as you can sorta see, the rail is no longer here.

you can almost sorta make out that under where the rail was, is a different linoleum.

Here is a nice picture of the front door close to being finished.

Day 2 - More Demo and the Wood Begins!

So after day 2, all the tile has been removed from the dining room and half of the hallway.  We also have some wood floors!  I love looking at it.  My house smells like concrete due to the dust in the air from the concrete board that was under the tile.

Here is some of our new Hardwood floor!

Here is Roxas checking out the construction.

Here is the fully demolished "dining room" and the wood floor covered for its protection.

(Not sure why there are spots on the wall... I think that was my camera)

Day 1 of the remodel - DEMO

After day 1 about 1/3 of the demo (for the wood floor) is complete.  We are now living in a construction site.  They were nice enough to plastic seal shut some entries to keep dust down.  They also put down some padding so we can walk around easier and put some plastic on the stairs so we don't track dirt upstairs.

"Dining Room" emptied for construction.

"Dining Room" 3/4 of tile removed.

Hallway about 1/3 of demo complete.
