mathew spent the entire day at the house, determined to strip the bathroom down to the studs. he got one corner stripped and took apart the plumbing.

to get to the plumbing he went through a closet wall. and behind that wall was all this crawl space. for deeper built-ins? secret storage space?

i showed up in the afternoon and helped take down the tile on this wall. we’ve been trying to be careful so that we can re-use the white tile or bring it to urban ore. we’re hoping to use urban ore for as much recycled building material as possible. because home renovation isn’t very earth friendly…

hey, janeen went over to the house by herself today and started taking the place apart. when i got there, she was covered in dust.

so i went to the house this afternoon thinking i’d start ripping out the tile. it was hard work and going really slowly. a couple hours later mathew shows up in his office clothes and completely takes down a wall in minutes and continues to rip out tile like he’s got superhuman powers…

so we started taking apart the stenchy pink bathroom. the previous owners had three boys under the age of twelve.

we were trying to demolish quietly: work started at 9:15 (pm).
