demolition: the uncovering begins...

of course, i have shown you all the lovely parts of buying a house. but this house is still a major renovation!  immediately, we are having the roof replaced. due to years of a leaky roof, we knew the ceiling and walls had damaged plaster.
aahhhhh yes. it wouldn't pretty forever. we knew what was hiding behind those drop ceiling and paneled walls would be a big ugly mess. here's your chance to see what we are finding! i mean if there wasn't any drama, why would you read this right? ( i have a feeling that you might here that statement a lot in the future!)

oh yes! water damaged plaster celing. this does, thankfully, appear to the worst!
going to town
nick running from the falling ceiling. haha. i made that part up.
i was really just trying to take a picture of the ceiling once it was down.


all in all it doesn't seem tooooooooo bad. we removed the drop ceiling completely. and then removed the many pieces of wiring that hung the ceiling.  we also removed all the the light fixtures. some will i will go ahead and say- spoiler alert - so far, this room is definately the worst. which, is bad, but not as bad as it could've been. we're feeling pretty good about it.  in fact, we thought it was actually kind of fun! 

next post: the celing in the den and the foyer.
thanks for reading!
