Big Bedroom Demo Day

Some days, it’s nice to know that your one and only job is to break stuff.

In preparation for some work we’ll be doing in the basement, Liz started to work on opening up the transoms on the second floor. While they’re not over every door, we have them over three doors.
The condensate line goes down through the house, and then runs alongside the North wall of the house in the basement. And best as I can tell… somewhere along that stretch, it got exposed to a draft got cold enough to freeze up. It’s the only explanation I have.
With a new (temporary) furnace going on the second floor, it was time to take down the tarp I had put up a long while ago to keep Liz’s sewing room a little warmer.
In the early evening, Bob got a decent sized cut on his finger. While I was trying to find a large enough bandaid for him, he patched himself up with a paper towel and some electrical tape.
We made some great progress in this room about two weeks ago, when we cleared out the closet and north wall. We’ll have a similar task when we jump one room over, and try to tackle the same (but inverse) in the guest bedroom.
When we encountered some lathe that was a little tricky to remove, we instantly went for the sawzall. Interesting to see how comfortable we are becoming with this tool, versus how timid we were when we first got it.
