Yesterday (Friday) was "get rid of gross green tub day" This took a lot of work, because there were so many layers of wall coverings around the tub, that it took a crow bar to get them off.
After getting down to the bare wood, Adair was finally able to yank the tub out (with some help) and it was the last thing added to the dumpster outside. Like the icing on a cake, the tub sits upside down on top of the pile of debris in the dumpster. Will get that taken away next week.
We did try to turn the water on. It had not been on since we took posession, because the bank selling the place had the line cut and capped. Jeremy helped sort that out, and he guided Adair with capping the bathrooms and the kitchen copper so that we could demolish the cabinets. We left one toilet and the laundry room sink in the basement attached, and crossed our fingers when the water was turned on. It actually held, although the laundry taps are a bit dicey.. So we turn off the water at the end of each day.. The saga continues!
