Because it was uninsulated and neglected in general, it was pretty obvious that most of the interior of the house would have to go. We removed the trimboards first so that we could tear down the walls. Though I had a shadowy idea that there were "studs" in the wall, I really didn't have a clue what a house would look like without drywall. Up to this point in my life, walls had always seemed so, well, solid. I found out that there actually isn't much in a wall but air and a few wires and pipes (and hopefully, insulation, if the job is done right). Dominic and I had the romantic milestone of filling up our first dumpster as a couple. We also had the much-needed help of his brother Marek, who faced the toxic dust with unwavering bravery. Oh, and we put up a hammock.
