Master Bath Demo

Jim and I finally figured out a way, we think, to fix our lame master bedroom/bathroom. After many hours of brainstorming, we came up with a plan to take out the wall of closets in our room, turn a big portion of the existing bathroom into a walk-in closet, and redo/add to the other existing portion of the bathroom. It is a crazy huge project. We talked to a couple of contractors about turning the loft in the garage into a room and a bunch of other work, and they said it would cost a fortune. We'd thought about tacking the garage onto the loft project if we hired someone, but now we're not hiring anyone and Jim is doing it himself.

He was burned out on home renovations for a long time, but he got pretty pumped when he started this in August.

My favorite was when he was doing the demo and called out to me, "I've got the fever!" 

He took out the wall between our bathroom and the hallway by the other bedrooms.

He took out several more walls. 

Ever helped remove nails and cart out drywall. Jim paid her a quarter per load of drywall she carried downstairs in a large garbage can. 

I haven't taken a lot of pictures, but I think I have later ones that show additional destruction. I'm posting these from August in an effort to stay chronological. In any case, that is the beginning of a very long, very insane project.
