and you all thought we'd just hang out and light fireworks all day, eh?

well, wrong again. mark was a busy busy beaver today, pulling up tile and removing walls AND removing the insulation behind the walls. i helped when i could, but, golly, i just needed a nap...

see how nice the subfloor looks now? first we smashed up all the tile, then we had to scraaaape it all up with a shovel. finally, mark had to go in the basement with the shop vac and suck up at least a few gallons of extra silt that made it down. i'm sure it will be settling for days...

all that grey/brown stuff is the blown in insulation. the nice fresh pink stuff is what DIDN'T fall on his head. we had to bag up the other stuff, cuz markie mark didn't want to waste the space in the (2nd) dumpster.
