Project #2 - Let the demo begin

Joe has wanted to re-do our back entry way for a while. The back entry way, dining room and kitchen have this super ugly paneling (which we've painted over and is now bearable) and Joe has wanted to get rid of it since we moved in. He's also wanted to tile the back entry way, dining room and kitchen and has started talking about trying it.

Well, we decided to start with the back entry way because a) it's small and b) we have no plans to host any party in the future.

Since pictures are more fun, enjoy!

What it normally looks like


Cleaned

Ugly panneling



Beautiful yellow/green linoleum under the wood flooring

Joe decided to rip out the old drywall

What is that bottle?

Found it in the wall...along with a spoon too




Next up is to add insulation and then start hanging the new drywall. Stay tuned...

Aww, you found something in your wall!? We tore our whole kitchen down and I was disappointed that we didn't find a single thing in the walls. :( So before we put the new drywall up we put pictures of what the kitchen used to look like in there and wrote our names. Maybe the next people (or demo crew) will find it! ~ Cheryl

Cheryl - Last spring/summer Joe was taking down the drop ceiling in the basement and found a few Penthouse Magazines from the early 90's...the previous owner's son had his room in the basement...
