The front bay window is in good shape and so it stays (phew!)... trim will go though...
The entry vestibule... doors are to be refinished...
We suspected there was a fireplace covered up near the front window... and there was... and it's collapsing... only partially though, so I guess we got lucky... no matter... given we can't even afford to restore one fireplace, the second one is not happening...
The primary fireplace... where we are installing a new ventless gas firebox (it's killing me, but no wood-burning turn-of-the-century marble fireplace charm is to be had... unless we win the lotto in the next two days)...
... note the fully collapsed masonry inside the fireplace? ... now THAT is more our style... none of this partial deteriorating business...
... that white film on the floor? Dust... dirty nasty gritty demolition dust (primarily from plaster)... and yes, it has managed to infiltrate the entire house, despite the plastic... which we knew it would... but, the plastic did help keep it under control a bit...
Note the ceiling... we had two... the first ceiling (deteriorating and very poorly installed drywall) was slapped onto the original plaster ceiling (which is in horrid shape as you can tell from the photos)... first ceiling is gone... original ceiling still to go...
... how many more days left of construction?
