Demolition Preceed Renovations

Call me cheap, I guess.  I'm saving $1500.00 by doing the demolition of our two bathrooms preceding the construction.  So far I've taken down the ceiling in the rooms below to allow the plumbing and electrical work to proceed.  There used to be a dropped ceiling there, which we will raise to full height and sound proof the ceiling so anyone living beneath us isn't disturbed by our wild parties....ha ha.

Today I pried up a glued down parquet floor and removed the tiles from around the jacuzzi.  Oh yeah, I stripped the cedar from the walls and around the skylights.  It felt like a 30 year old sauna...but now it feels like a construction zone.

I have been sleeping in each morning and get pretty tired after 8 hours of this kind of work.  I've been skipping my aerobics classes, but still wake with the odd sore muscle.  Tearing drywall off the ceiling is good for the abs.  And, even though I say "45 forever", I know I had more stamina at 45 than I do at 65.
