This is not my beautiful house

This used to be the kitchen.

The cabinets, beadboard, and toilet are sitting out on the porch.

This used to be the bathroom, before I dug up the tile and three inches of mortar and started ripping the tile wall off the plaster and whatever weird metal mesh thing it was attached to.

Anyway, obviously things are still in the process of coming apart rather than being put back together. It's scary how little time there is until I was supposed to be done. It seems that everything depends on something else before it can all get started. For example, I finally got a kitchen guy that is good to go, but I first have to get a permit. When I go to the permit place (for the second time, because the first time their computers were down) I have to give the name of the electrician before they'll give me a permit. I call the electrician, and it turns out that he can't come until next week. Which sucks, because the electricity has to be done before the walls are done. So then I called another electrician, which is making it more expensive (although he is doing more than the first one is). But at least maybe it will get started this week!! I'll only have one week to get the floor down and the cabinets in before I leave for Christmas. Yikes.
