catching up . . .

When were finished tearing everything out (of the bathroom and basement) it pretty much filled the 20 cubic yard dumpster that I had rented. (I tried to rent a 20 cubic foot dumpster, but the guy at the dumpster place laughed at me, and then I realized what I had said :P )

The kitchen before the drywall was installed:

The bathroom before the tub or drywall was installed:

The bathroom after the tub was installed (more complicated than you'd think), still no walls though:

The fan/light, this was the first thing that was installed and hooked up, I don't think the wires are hooked up in the basement, but it still made me feel better that something was actually done:

The kitchen after the drywall was installed (apparently there is still more to mud, and some sanding to do before I can paint. . . . grrrr . . . .):

The drywall installers decided that they should fix the irregularities in the wall, much to my chagrin, but alas, I was at work and wasn't home to prevent the extra work from occurring:

The bathroom (drywall also not finished apparently):


I'm worried about how the door frame will turn out, it doesn't look nearly as scary in this photo as it does in person, I guess I'll just have to wait and hope for the best:

the drywall hiding the fan:

I don't think I posted anything about this feature before; this is my new laundry room (previously a bedroom). It just needs some trim (and some paint) and this part will be done.
If all goes well, the dry wall will be all done tomorrow, and I can finish up everything else, and then I'm going to have a nice hot relaxing bath ;)
