First, destruction

It's scary watching them prep the living room.  The first stage is rather destructive.  They scrape vigorously at the walls to get off all the loose stuff.  The one guy found a big hunk of paper embedded in the ceiling and pulled it out, which produced a dramatic shower of whatever the ceiling is made of.  

Now, though, they have plastered all the rough spots on the walls, and are caulking in cracks around the trim and the windows.  This is much more reassuring.

The kitchen is empty, a dirty void.  I am so glad we're painting the insides of the cabinets.
