Good progress today. All kitchen appliances, counter tops, and cabinets out except one that we have no room for in the garage... Fireplace out, marble hearth, electrical outlets plates, about 50% of the tack strips. POD picked up (that grass is yellow too). About 25 hours logged.Tomorrow, dumpster delivery - throw away a bunch of carpet, stairs, etc. Finish pulling nails from trim, treads to keep, etc. Re-arrange garage to store last counter. Remove final tack strips. Finish electrical light, ceiling fans, security, and fire fixtures. Re-protect hardwood where cabinets removed, etc.
I honestly expect that we'll begin drywall removal on Thursday - 4 days ahead of schedule. If you're local, and interested in pulling drywall this weekend, call me. I need to get respirators for all participants.
Biggest remaining issue now is the piano - we've been working around it for several days, and I'm concerned about drywall removal with it in the house - but we'll just have to be careful. It will be moved out on Monday.
Lastly, I plan to post a project summary soon, maybe tonight, with the hopes it can help others in our same situation who might find this blog and be considering this same course of action.
