The contractors showed up bright and early on Monday. I made sure all the animals were downstairs before they arrived, blocking off the kitchen with a board on one side and the seldom-used sliding door on the other, which we were going to do anyway to keep the dust out.
When I came home from work I saw this in the driveway:
Sure enough, inside the house all the fixtures had been removed from the bathroom. The light fixture was just resting in the wreckage of the medicine cabinet, and the tub had been hauled off to parts unknown.
Oh, and that hallway project?
Yup, we're having a pull-down stairway installed into the attic. Two of them, actually. The current attic storage is accessed through a crawl-space in a "closet" which we can't really use without blocking the attic entry. So we're having this entrance made into the half of the attic we couldn't use before, and another one made into the existing attic space so we can actually use that closet as a linen closet. We're at least as excited about this as we are about the rest of the bathroom. In fact, the lower entry was completely finished by the end of the first day of work, and this one might have been as well if not for...
Yeah, they broke the big mirror at the end of the hallway. They're replacing it, but apparently there was a minor accident when they were setting up the pull-down unit and someone fell out of the attic. Jason had come home shortly after it happened and they were still in a bit of disarry, I got the full story the next morning from one of the workmen. Thank goodness no one was seriously hurt, the guy who got the worst of it even came into work the next day. We're very glad we made sure our contractor is insured tho.
Tuesday's schedule is the rest of the bathroom demolition and finishing up the attic access.
