step one- relocate walls to dumpster

this is how you remove walls.

i think i need a new bathtub.

i suppose one of the things that really amazed me the most about this whole thing is just how much 'stuff' comes out of a house.  its not like my place is all that big, (about 1200 s.ft.) but it somehow has managed to produce over 90 cubic yards of trash.  and unfortunately, dumpsters are not cheap.

lovely interior:

this is where it all began-- needless to say, the lime green paint (as well as pretty much everything else) needed a bit of work....

someday i will live here:

so i bought this house on the 29th of feb.  maybe the biggest mistake of my adult life (but hopefully not).  it was in pretty rough shape when i got a hold of it, but it was liveable.  however, i along with the help of others have managed to turn into my little disaster...ok it's really not all that bad all the time, just most of it..
