We were able to get a lot done:
Kitchen cabinets are removed, appliances in the garage.
Wood floor in kitchen/dining removed.
Carpet in Bedrooms and Hallway removed.
Initial scrub down finished on the master bathroom.
One wall of wall paper removed from boys' room.
Lawns mowed and cleaned up.
Things went smoothly today. We were surprised and not real happy to find mold in the kitchen where the sink was. So we have some wall work to do before we can install the new cabinets. There is also 2 layers of linoleum under the wood flooring, so that will be something else we have to figure out.
The master bath is getting cleaner, but the grout is still gross and there are some stains on the shower bottom I'm not sure will ever come out. As far as the shower stall itself, it's in questionable shape. I'm afraid of pulling it off as to the monsters we may find behind it because it's not fully attached to the wall anymore. Then there are the tiles on the floor, a good number of them have cracked, but it's such a tiny area that it won't take but a scrap piece of flooring to fix it.
The wall paper and border are coming down fairly easily. I only bought one bottle of the remover fluid, so I'll have to go back and get probably 2 more to finish the job. I worked on this as the last thing I did and it felt good to have it go right!
So, here are some before and after pictures from the day.
Kitchen Before
After
Purrty flooring we discovered
Mold = new green board in the kitchen
Boys room before:
Carpet gone! Nothing but concrete and tack strips.
Wallpaper gone! I finished this wall after pictures.
Master Shower Before, notice nasty on the wall in the corner.
Nasty be gone! Doors off to be scrubbed and hosed down and better access to shower.
Stains on the bottom and grout is still pretty bad, but it's better than it was!
