Blog: The Home-Improvement Chronicles--Demolition Days

Milla Goldenberg shares photos from the first week of her exterior home remodel.

Operation: Home Remodel is in full swing now, and my 1920s bungalow has been stripped, flipped and rubbed down in an effort to restore it to its craftsman roots. (Note: I use the term "craftsman roots" loosely, as this is not an actual restoration project.)

Thankfully, the project has gone rather swimmingly so far, despite a few hiccups that include going over budget, doubling the time needed for construction and the drama caused by the subcontractor quitting after the first week. Beyond that, things have been great!

Check out the photos to see where things stood at the end of the first week. (To see the before photos, .)
