Hall Bath Renovation: Day 1

Contractors started demolition.  They removed the door (which will be reusing in the bathroom).  They tore out the old wall around the doorway.  Then they built a new wall a few feet into the hallway to make the bathroom longer.  They capped it off with some drywall and plastic to attempt to keep the dust in and Quinn out.

The door is gone.  Starting to remove the drywall.



Wall is extended into the hallway and drywall is up

The contractors also worked on removing the closet from our bedroom.

The closet is ripped out and you can see from our bedroom into the bathroom.  During the demolition they found the old laundry chute.  Leo and Betty, the former owners of the house, had told us there was a laundry chute up there.

 No more closet!
  
While the contractors were busy inside, Greg started to strip the paint off of the back of the bathroom door.  So far he has stripped off three layers - cream, pink and green.  Is there any wood behind the paint?  We may never know!

P.S.  Quinn survived his first of many showers in the coming days.
