On Sunday, we began our bathroom/laundry room demolition. It was my first time ripping down dry wall. What a workout! I woke up Monday morning with swollen fingers and sore triceps from swinging that hammer. We got the laundry room demolished on Sunday. On Monday, the workers came to move the toilet, move the washer/drier hookups, move the baseboard heater and set up for a double vanity. 
These last three pictures are how the bathroom currently looks. I really don't think you get the full effect of how HORRIBLE it is. It's like going potty in an outhouse! There are several LARGE holes in the floor, through which bugs are now entering the house! We've temporarily put wood over the holes to try and block the bugs. The floor is partially vinyl flooring and partially wood. In addition to that, the toilet is now in what was the hallway between our bedroom and the laundry room--basically the toilet is right next to our bedroom. Ugh.
One minor difficulty encountered: the washer/drier won't fit through the bathroom door. We ended up lifting them over the toilet into place-BUT, if they ever break, they're STUCK. So, we're going to save money and get a bigger door put in. Also, we didn't think about the window-basically, it can't be where it is right now because it's halfway in the "laundry closet". We've got to save money to have that moved too.
The work that has to be done this weekend includes: buying all the stuff from Lowe's (including new shower/surround, new flooring, new vanity, new linen closet, etc, etc, etc) a bunch of work under the house putting up insulation around the new pipes, ripping up the old flooring, and Aaron's going to start putting up dry wall behind the washer/drier.
It's a mess now, but can't wait until it's done! Should be done the weekend after Thanksgiving. Everyone start planning your visits for then!
