Construction Halts!

Yep, we are just two days in and we have hit our first snag. We were assured the one tiny wall we want removed wasn't load bearing, but our contractor changed his mind once he had ripped out the entire bath, rendering it non-functional. Turns it out that wall does help keep the roof from falling in. So things came to a halt while he gets permits, plans, and supplies to put in a new concealed beam. Estimated delay: minimum two weeks.

Anyway, here is a few before shots. Hard to believe anybody'd want to get rid of this seventies splendor!

Ironically, you can hardly tell the difference between the foil wallpaper and the foil insulation.
