They showed up at 8:30 am, exactly when they said they would. 

They have been nice and polite, and have tried to keep the mess to a minimum. 

By noon, half the crew had to leave because all the heavy stuff was done, and it's down to noddley demolition. 

By 1 pm, when the last two went to take their lunch, this is where we were at.

Tub is on the lawn!
No, it will not become a water feature.

The view from the door. Vanity used to be to the right (being re-used), tub to the left.

This is the wall between the bathroom and the laundry

The view in from the window into the corner where the tub used to be. True 2x4's!

The rafters, which are sort of just toenailed into the house with hopes and dreams.

The wall out toward the dining room from the window.

The tub corner again. There's a bunch of posts here, and I'm hoping to get a better look at it once they are done for the day.  I suspect some of these are just emotional support posts for hanging the plaster/lathe on. If you zoom in and look super close, there's a wooden peg through a mortise/tennon at the top of the corner.
