Remodel Begins

Thanksgiving weekend we decided to start a remodel on our bedroom.  Because of the age of the house, most of the walls are plaster and lathe and very little insulation.  Everything had to come down in the bedroom and the mess began.

So, here is the before.  Notice the bi-fold doors on the hallway door as well as the very small closet.




  




The demolish crew!
The furniture is cleaned out so time for DEMO!




 




Jordan is our "task master", he doesn't like it when we decide to take a break.  Here is is yelling at Jason and I "hey guys, there is lots more work up here"!



Jordan helping take the plaster off the walls.  He was so excited to be able to pound on the walls with a crew bar and watch the walls fall.

 

Jordan made his own work bench inside using the old lathe.



This is the new closet with a HUGE door.




Thank goodness for Grandpa Steve who willingly comes up to help us anytime we want!
Finally getting the sheetrock hung.




 Helping to clean up after a long day.




Look at that dirty face!  He has been working hard.

We are not done yet so I will keep updating the progress here.  We were hoping to have it completed by Christmas but that is not looking good at this time.

So, you now know why we have all been covered in dust for the last couple of weeks.
