We got an early start this morning because the Dumpster arrived early.  Unfortunately they couldn’t put the dumpster in the front where we wanted it so we’ll be trekking debris all the way to the back again 🙁

The day was very productive!  Ryan started out by getting to work on the tile floor in the bathroom.  He cut the threshold/saddle piece we bought yesterday and then started the slow process of tiling/cutting/tiling by himself.

While ryan cut the threshold piece I filled the nail holes on the trim.

Here is the floor all finished – notice the new oak flooring patched in.  We’ll add a piece of quarter round on the hall side of the threshold when we finish the hallway/kitchen area.

All finished!

While ryan was tiling I painted the Gym Ceiling…

The gym ceiling - first coat of paint

Then i got the livingroom and diningroom ready for demo – which meant a lot of moving things upstairs and some pushing things out of the way 🙂

All ready for demo

Next up I started removing trim in the front hall.

Once ryan was done tiling we decided to put the first coat of paint on the gym walls.  It’s a very bright orange color so earlier I had painted a small section to see how it looked dry.  Ryan finally admitted he was okay with the color (the color makes me happy) so we ended the day painting the room ‘Torchlight’!

Now we’re going to call it a night – it’s still early so we’re going to get some dinner and watch one of the movies I got for my birthday from Aimee, Jason, PJ and Erica .. haven’t decided which one yet to watch!

Up next – serious demolition!
