Alllllrightythen.  Phase one:  DESTROY BULKHEAD is complete.  That last board back there is being left in place on account of there are nails going both ways and I suspect pulling it is going to destroy the drywall, so we’re going to leave it until we actually need to destroy the drywall.  The broken piece of DW on the right there is coming down on that same day.  Either today (probably not) or tomorrow my father-in-law is coming over; the new bathroom fan is getting installed right about where that pipe for the old one is coming down.  That’s attic work and electrical work; I can destroy by myself– I need help for that part.  After that’s done, we start taking out the walls.

Total elapsed time:  Two hours, maybe, start to finish, and it’s even all clean already, except for that little bit in the back corner yet that I haven’t pulled down.  Bathing the boy tonight shouldn’t be a problem.

Injury report:  Minor scrape to knuckles, incurred after all work was done and while bagging up the trash.  I didn’t feel a damn thing; turns out broken tile is razor-sharp and maybe you keep the work gloves on even when you’re not technically doing what you think of as work anymore.

Trepidation report:  incredibly high; this was the second thing in a row that was Way Too Goddamn Easy.  There’s gonna be a tarrasque living in the walls, I just know it.
