Total Tearout Defined

When the Handyman says "total tearout" he isn't kidding. On both the Bathroom, which was formerly a pantry for bread dough proofing (yes, figure that one out) the end of the room was open to the stars... and in this kitchen renovation the entire back wall was open to the outside for sometime. Just so you know;)

Oh, this old house thing is just so much fun. I won't describe how we managed without a bathroom with five kids and two adults... but use your imagination when I say we cobbled together our version of an outhouse. fun, fun, fun.

The temporary kitchen was easier, we used a back room and set it up with a microwave and then did dishes in the bathtub. I don't recommend it, but it did work. somehow though I am not laughing about those days in hindsight, they were hard and not alot of laughs. I have always been grateful for the outcomes, however. That is the saving grace in all this. We have ended up with living spaces that are quite improved. I like them anyway:)
