Move cement, get out the way



After my dad left to Texas things slowed down an immeasurable rate. Chris and I went back to work and for about two weeks we toured the dungeon planning our attack. Finish out the kitchen?
Start framing the bathroom? Are we still sure we want the bed up here?

Chris started a Google Sketch Up in his idle time, and I shopped for appliances,  both of us knowing that all of our efforts would go unnoticed until we actually made a move and did something physical below.

The two weeks passed and Chris began to demo unveiling a million other problems...

  1. None of the walls are plumb in the dungeon. 
  2. None of the rooms are level. 
  3. The living room is a half a floor below the bedroom. 
  4. The bedroom floor is three different heights. 
  5. The area we want to build a bathroom has two enormous stepped cement slabs in the way, including what looks like old plumbing for the original bathroom. JOY!





On top of all of this we've made it a goal to finish before we head off to England for the wedding... That's THREE MONTHS AND WE STILL NEED TO BUY/MAKE/ORDER/ADDRESS OUR WEDDING INVITATIONS! Hello, where are our priorities! Ah... I guess it's demoing the bathroom area.

Below is a photo montage of what we were able to do in the last two days. 

First it started by hand. 




Then he rented the big guy.





JOB DONE... NOW HOW DO WE MOVE IT OUTTA HERE!
