Laundry Room Demo


This weekend, the laundry room was stripped of its 1967 features.

I peeled wallpaper........


Which ironically said this.......


Do you see what I see?

Asbestos.

So the mister wore a mask as he peeled linoleum.............


We also tore out all the baseboards and an old cupboard.

Bob isn't scheduled until August 1st, but with the mister's schedule we had to get it done. 

You can bet I'll be spending as little time as possible doing laundry in that creepy, musty room this week.

Is that really such a tragedy?

  7. Yeah, the asbestos is typically in the glue used to adhere vinyl tiles. At least from what I understand. We ran into the same stuff at our house. It's mostly harmless, but always good to wear a mask, especially in rooms where water is. Who knows what's lurking in a 50 year old house!
    Glad you got that wall paper down so easy! In my experience, old wallpaper put up a nasty fight!
    It's gonna be so awesome!
