THE RENOVATION BEGINS THURSDAY, 5 MARCH 2015
BE WARNED . . . THERE ARE LOTS O' PICS . . . I'M NOT KNOWN FOR CULLING!
In my bedroom, some tiles were loose . . .	. . . so they were re-cemented & re-grouted.
Mike begins peeling off the wallpaper border . . .
	. . . and with even less enthusiasm, so does Dan.
Mirrors in Neal's bathroom come down . . . My refuge (for a few days . . . you'll see that I - and the dogs' beds - are continually moving to another room). If the garage hadn't already been full, I'm sure we'd have been moved out there, too! Where to put it all . . . ??? (Notice Daisy behind the black barrier; she & Heather cannot be in the same crate, so the dogs took turns being in this, rather than in a crate.) Back to my bedroom . . . John (from Portugal) does more work than ANYone of the crew! Mirrored wall is out of the bathroom . . . notice the "monkey-sh*t yellow" tub & tiles. The medicine cabinet is removed and the hole filled in . . .
. . . and the wallpaper is stripped here, too . . .
Mike watches as I take the first swing at the kneewall . . . That didn't even make a dent, did it? With the spindles, kneewall & book case removed, the living space is greatly enarged. (The bookcase now resides in the garage, already filled with "stuff".)
