What did we learn today:
- There may have been a drywall shortage, but there was definitely not a painter's caulk shortage
- Pulling nails through the back of baseboard does leave a clean face without damage (good tip Uncle Bill!), but it's really freaking hard to do 500 times in a day
- Air-powered nails should be more expensive
Great day of progress. We removed all of the baseboard, door frames, and window frames in the four upstairs bedrooms, upstairs hallway, master bath, and laundry room. The only room upstairs not done is the kids bathroom - but it's started, we just ran out of steam. We pulled the nails out of the trim we pulled, and saved about 95% of the linear footage from any type of damage. The recovered material is moved into the garage, and the rooms are cleaned up. The closet systems are also removed and saved from damage.
Tomorrow, we'll finish the kids bath, then lay plastic on the first floor, pull the carpet from the second and use it to further protect the hardwood. Also, will pull the two upstairs bathroom vanities. The time allotted for all of the demo was to run through and including next weekend - I think we're at least on schedule so far.
We logged 37 hours of work today between the three of us (Dad, Dave, and me).
Check back tomorrow!
