Yes, yes, not the best of times to undertake a major home renovation, but we’ve been saving for it for years, and hopefully Christina’s job, at least, is relatively recession-proof. Plus, the contractors and subs want the work now, where two years ago, we’d have to wait in line.

So it’s happening. We’re now three days into demo, and as far as I can tell, 95% of what has to go away is gone. Some floor has to go, and the windows will go once the new ones arrive. But is pretty empty up there.

Here are the before pics and the first demo pics (from yesterday – even more is gone now):

Hopefully, I’ll have some pictures of the construction process soon. That, of course, will be 20x slower.
