Main Level Demo Begins

So, I've decided that going to the gym and having a good workout is not a good idea 
on days that we are doing heavy duty work here at the bungalow.
I was so completely wiped out just a couple hours into demolition tonight 
that I was almost useless for the rest of the evening. 
Lesson learned.
It ended up okay, though, cuz my "sister-wife", Tami, showed up to help.
That woman...she's basically amazing.
Here are a few pics and then I'm headed to bed.

Here's what the kitchen looks like after tonight's work...


And here's a rather frightening discovery...


Mr Mossi says it's the worst wiring hack job he's ever seen.
It's a miracle this house hasn't burned down!

Oh, and one more ghastly find.
This one wasn't too much of a surprise, but still...


I went around removing all the covers on the heater vents and air intakes
and it looks like there's 58 years of build up in there.
This is one of the top reasons we are going ductless.

That's all for tonight.
Nothin' fancy.
So tired.
G'night.
