Laundry Area Remodel

I've started my first remodel project at the house-finally! I was so tired of listening to that stupid dryer squealing and moaning every time I turned it on! As you know (via the post below), I bought a new washer and dryer set. That was the easy part. I then had to get the laundry area ready to receive the new appliance and promptly got on the phone with a contractor. After a brief ten minute discussion, we'd made a Date for Demo!
Here's what it looked like before:
Note the beautiful faux tile linoleum glued to the wall and trimmed with metal flashing. Also, admire the gargantuan particle board cabinet screwed into the drywall...

Ahahahahah!!!!! Destruction!!! Tear, tear! Rip....It...Off!!!!



Now, fast forward to yesterday. Here's the new drywall, all clean and nice. New plumbing also was completed yesterday.


Ta Da! The new water heater, now located in the hall closet. Neatly tucked away where no one needs to look at it...

Ah, isn't it beautiful...

Today is hopefully the last day for construction. They still have to finish puttying and texture the walls. They have to re-attach the electrical outlets to the wall (unfortunately. There was no easy way to move them) and patch a few holes. With any luck, I'll have this area primed and painted this weekend.

Pray for me.
