Demolition

So we are doing some remodeling and I thought it'd be cool to have a little remodel diary going. I'm still not at 100% so I don't have the energy to go into too much detail right now. We sort of started the manual labor last weekend and continued today.

What is going:
Pretty much everything
Scraping the "acoustic shit" aka popcorn off the ceilings
The carpet
Kitchen cabinets, dishwasher, stove, fridge
bathroom everything
All living room furniture
Lamps

What is coming:
New ceiling texture
New carpet
Tile or hardwood floor
Kitchen everything
Bathroom everything
Paint in all rooms
New living room furniture
AIR CONDITIONER
Dining room table??????

There is probably more to both lists that I'm forgetting. Anyway, today Josh and I pulled all the carpet and padding out of the living room, hallway, and bathroom. We had to wear masks due to the amazing amount of dust we kicked up. There were piles of dirt under the carpet. It was pretty disgusting. It is incredible how much a room echoes when there is no carpet laid down to absorb the noise. The highlight of the night was, rather than cutting the carpet into small pieces, we rolled one big piece and tried to cut down the roll with small razors. We felt like surgeons there for a while, especially considering how precise we had to cut when our hands were holding the pieces apart, centimeters away from the sharp blades.

Anyway, that's all for now. Oh, and naturally, some of what I write about this whole experienced may be dramatized, completely made up, or irrelevant to the situation in order to flare up the story. BOOM
