Demolitions started today, it was pretty fun, Marianne and Ken (Ilona’s parents) are sending us a bin to dump all our waste into tomorrow, which we’re really looking forward to, and very much appreciative about.  My parents and Jean were over today helping with the floor plans some of the demolitions.  We started out with taking apart the closet under the stairs, ripping out the cupboards in the kitchen, cutting into the wall seperating the kitchen and living room, and taking out the fireplace in the master bedroom.  The fireplace in the master bedroom was actually a faux fire place, built entirely of real bricks, Jean took care of it nicely.  It looks like we’re going to have a lot of work ahead of us, our plan has grown slightly in the fact that we’re going to re-do the washroom at the same time, turning it into a ceramic shower, toilet and sink/vanity.  The tub that’s in there right now is so small it’s useless as a bathtub anyways, and with the limited space we have, we think it’s the best option.  Here’s a few photos of the demolition from today.

Today before the demolitions started, I decided it would be a good idea to shoot some photos of all the rooms so we had something to look back on.  Decided to go with the fisheye lense even though it’s quite distorted it gives you a good idea of exactly what each room looks like.  The one nice thing are the really high ceilings, 9.5-10′ tall, the windows are also new (a couple of years old), and all the wiring has been updated.
