More old bathroom photos
Under the old carpet, we found asbestos tiles! (tested as asbestos, but not carcinogenic)
Here are some photos when demo first began

Removing the closets was quite fun!
Here's where one small closet was, and the furring strips shown for the old fiber ceiling tiles.
Subfloor coming up! We needed to sister the joists and to run plumbing under here!
The carpet came up very easily
Old knob & tube wiring (w/ 4 ceramic tubes visible) All this will eventually be removed from the house!
Under the asbestos tile we found icky mastic-coated underlay boards
One of the original closets
Closet gone! The bump in the corner actually encloses an old chimney, which we have since removed.
Fan in the window to suck dust out, rosin paper to keep the mastic off our shoes.

It's hard to imagine that the hallway/bathroom was once just a room with closets, plaster walls and carpet!
It's been so long since we tore all that out.
Man, you guys have been
Man, you guys have been busy...
