This all started last summer when we began by tearing out carpet in the basement, and seeking out and destroying termite damage. Zeke and I started, but a first rate contractor had to take over for extensive renovations.
Then, plumbing issues were identified and contractors came in to take care of multiple issues.
Everything you work on seems to highlight an unknown problem, but you just have to take care of things and let the experts make everything right. The basement is mostly done now, and soon a new shower will complete the downstairs portion of our projects.
We have been ripping out carpet and tile upstairs in preparation for new flooring to be installed next week. Those tiles are glued down on thin plywood that is nailed to the subfloor every 4 inches. Lifting that up has not been fun, but we developed a system and have pushed through it.
We are just about to drive the dogs nuts with all of our destructive activities. I think they feel like William Shatner in his Twilight Zone episode with the Gremlin.

As we used to say in the ship overhaul world - one panic at a time...
That's a great motto, and I will use it!
