Remodeling - Main Floor Demo

Living & Dining Room - Before

Anyone doing a remodeling will tell you that the first part of remodeling in coming up with a plan, discussing what you want done, getting quotes from a contractor, going through the process of choosing products and all that stuff.

We kind of short circuited that process by calling up a contractor friend that we've worked with before, and told him in broad, general terms what we wanted to do.  Remove some half walls, put in some hardwood flooring, move the laundry upstairs, redo both downstairs and master bathrooms, and a few dozen other minor things.  

Living & Dining Room - After

Well, we decided that we wanted to skip a few steps since we owned two houses (i.e., two mortgages), and we wanted to have the remodel done before we moved in.  So, we called our friend, and he said, sure, let's go.  

Gulp.
