My parents came for the weekend.
Dad was really anxious to help.
And we started demolition of the bathroom. There’s no turning back now.

Almost everything is gone now, the floor tiles, fixtures, radiator, everything except the bathtub. I’m happy that Tig hasn’t broken anything in the house, or any part of his body yet.

My parents came up for the weekend to help. At first I didn’t think we needed their help, but it turned out to be a godsend, and we certainly appreciated their coming.
Here my dad and I discuss the bathroom renovations (in a completely gutted 1st floor bathroom). We later installed a temporary toilet (more on that in the future).

Slow work day for me today. It was lots of coordination as the kitchen cabinets were delivered today and the floor sanding commenced (not by me). I thought sanding and coating the floor would not be too difficult but got convinced by 3 other professionals in the construction business to hire someone to do it. Serena could tell you more on that at a later date.
Also a representative from our local oil company came by to explain all about the oil and hot water heat system.
Although both bathrooms have been gutted, a temporary toilet was installed in bath 1. And boy did that come in handy today, and I’m sure it will be useful all week. And it only cost $1.50 for a new wax ring. Thanks Paul.

The carpenter came today. Woohoo! Less work for tig.
I cleared some of the plaster below the bathroom so the plumber and floor guy (carpenter) could work. Here’s what it looks like.
