A lot of demo, but not much gobbling

Think of the end results.  Think of the end results.  Think of the end results.

This is my mantra for the next couple of weeks......think of the end results.

Demolition is in full swing here with the bathrooms getting done.  This has meant that our house is pretty much torn apart right now and there's only one working toilet in the house.....upstairs in our bedroom.  But......think of the end results.

The project began on Monday, so I've been stuck here at home making sure things run smoothly.  Being stuck at home has it's advantages.....I also scheduled the washing machine repairman and the dishwasher repairman come out and take care of a couple of items. 

However, this demo means we are scaling back our Thanksgiving festivities again this year (seriously, there hasn't been any Thanksgiving festivities here in years).  I've cut back the menu this year and it will just be Cris, Paul, and myself gorging out on turkey.  Cris doesn't know it yet......but I have a small list of things I need him to do for me while he's here.  Sure do miss not having my handy guy nearby to get things done around here.

Here's a few pictures of some of the activity around here this week:

After Day 1:

 Everything removed from the upstairs bathroom (except the floor didn't get done yet) that is supposed to be removed has been taken out.

Day 2:

 Wallpaper and everything removed from the downstairs bathroom

 This bathroom got totally gutted.......think of the end results

 Paul decided that since they had the exhaust fans opened up......we might as well buy new ones and replace these.  We've lived here 18 years and never changed them out......now seems like a good time.

 Looks like construction zones every where!

 

Day 3:

 No more popcorn on the bathroom ceilings.....love how they look with just the texture on it.

 They've got the floor up, medicine cabinet removed, and vanity primered in the upstairs bath

 Think of the end results........think of the end results

Having workers in the house has also necessitated having a doggy prison so that she can't chase them around all day and try to nip them.  As long as she's on the same side as I am.....she's happy.

While I was gathering the pictures for this fascinating story of the demolition at our house, I found this one.  This is faucet we picked for upstairs bathroom.  Although now that I see it again.....I'm having second thoughts.

Oh I hate having to make all these decisions!!!!!

Think of the end results......think of the end results....................
