There’s a stage in a remodel called "before" — which, of course comes before "during" and "after".
Currently, we’re living in "before" and the novelty wore off after the first week. Dusty, mastic-laden floors. No operable stove. Handicapped accoutrements… a far cry from the newly-built townhouse we left in West Oakland… but, even sans-novelty, we wouldn’t trade back and are looking forward to the adventure.
I started a flickr photostream of the "before" images and I’ve posted some of the more telling ones below. Posting "during" and "after" photos will certainly be nice.
