The Bathroom Demolition

The bathroom needed to be almost completely gutted. A crack team of bruisers was assembled :)

To prepare, the toilet was removed for safe keeping and the sink and vanity were removed and capped off.



i'm wearing double layers of everything. It's -10 out. brrr.

before we break out the safety glasses and dust masks. 

Peter is wisely avoiding the dust and carrying out shower wall bits.

Gerald is just a bit too gleeful. There is dust on my camera.


out come the heavy tools


smashy smashy!




the tub is coming out!

rub-a-dub-dub, three ladies in  a tub! 

hey! dad stole the camera!




the axe murderer from the basement has emerged




Two trailer loads, including one that was 800kg was removed.


once the walls were down, the floors needed to come out.

the floor was very stuck on 

sledge hammer and stone chizel. yes. the right tools make all the difference. 
The sledge hammer head was from my grandpa, my dad added the axe handle for a better grip, and I used it to take up the floor. Awwww family heirlooms.



holy cow! It's empty!

yup, floor is gone too!
10am-2:30pm and it was done!
