UPDATED Mud Room Destruction

I was at the house this a.m. for some plumbing issues -- new RPZ valve for the outdoor spinkler system -- and to sneak a peak at the asbestos removal in the basement (more on that in another post). But one thing I also wanted to do was snap a few post-demolition photos of the mud room that were lacking from this post.

Here are a few more shots of Alice's room with the floor cabinets, washer and dryer removed.  This is the exterior-facing wall, where new plumbing and venting and waste lines had been run to accommodate a washer and dryer in that room (now sans, washer and dryer):

A shot back at the other corner where the base cabinets "protected" that lovely "brick" tile.

And looking from the opposite corner back towards the kitchen and (full) bathroom:

After renovation, that wall (still holding the nailed-on upper cabinets) will be removed and a new one in its place will exist about three feet in -- about 6 inches past where the door to the kitchen ends, shrinking this room by about 3 feet.

As a result, the full bath will also shrink into a powder room sized 1/2 bath.

Looking at these pictures, I'm beginning to appreciate my wife's reaction to this as a "disgusting" house. But you gotta break some eggs to make an omelette, right?
