This was phase one, demolition. It took us about a week to gut the bathroom completely...we found 6 inches of concrete under the floor tile that had to be jackhammered out--no joke. This was very unsettling to me because the entire house shook and it took us 3-4 hours to get it out. This said we hauled about 5 tons of debris out of the bathroom...this did not include the 800+ pound tub or the 200 pound radiator. I only know the weight because we paid per ton for the dumpster we had in the back! Don't tell Dan you saw this pic...
This is a view of the floor of the bathroom looking up from the dining room. Much of the floor needed to be reframed and Dan did a great job!
Somehow in all the mess, I didn't get pics of the house when it was completely bare...down to the lath and plaster--we were in that phase for at least a month and a half...this is after the wall board went up and before the tile was put up. The arrow indicates the way we bathed for about a month. What you are seeing is the raw pipe that juts out of the wall until the tile is place and the fixtures are put on...the pink item you see is the washcloth we used to keep the rusty water that dripped out of said pipe from staining the tub.

That picture of Dan could easily be a picture of a murderer in a horror movie. He must be spending too much time with Stanger.
