And we are off.
Permits secured, contracts signed, demo started. Took a few before pictures, and then after one day. To keep the dust down and make the next few months a bit easier, we have a temporary wall to separate our living space from the construction. We are also moving all our appliances into our dining room, so will have a fairly full kitchen albeit in a small space. Wasn't much work for them to do, but I think it make it all more livable over the next few months. An excellent suggestion from Herman. Tomorrow they are coming to install the correct plug for the fridge and the stove in the temporary wall, and setting up a laundry sink for dishes. The bin comes on Tuesday (which required serious driveway shovelling to make space). Ottawa had a record breaking January snowfall, and just had another 40+ cm blizzard, so things are a little tight. So far so good. Looks like there is a brick chimney in there, so now we wait and see what shape it is in. Also looks like the structural wall is not brick under the drywall, so should be an easier job to remove. One day down!
