a slow start, but a start none the less

In thursday night, we had the contractor and the electrician to come and take a look at the house. After much talking, we all decided that the best course of action is to tear down all the interior finishes of the exterior walls, the ceilings and most of the interior walls. Most of the exterior walls has no insulation what so ever and with the plumbungs and electrical needed to be replace, this is the quickest and best solution. All of this is not news to us, but is still hard to hear. Our plan of moving into the place quickly has been dimmed slightly. Because is the long weekend, we will not be able to begin demolition until the middle of next week. Even though we have the main bedroom and bathroom on the priority list, to make the house habitable asap, this is highly anticipated on how quickly the electricity and plumbing gets put in place. We are keeping our fingers crossed. We were hoping to get some of the demo started ourselves this weekend, but between shopping for tiles and packing to move out of our current place on Monday, it doesn't look like it's going to happen.
