So it has begun!

The little white brickhouse is now really ours and work has begun with getting it up to our standards ;)
The boyfriend and his brother tore down the bathroom and guest toilet to the foundation last weekend and this week the carpenters have chopped up the floor so new pipes can be laid and walls can be moved to make the bathroom bigger and guest toilet smaller.
Two guys have changed all the windows this week and now we're waiting for the last metal work to be done outside and then we can start cleaning up after them. It gets plenty messy when changing windows :P
But now it's all in motion and I can't wait to see what will happen with the bathroom from day to day once they really start working on that and see it grow into something so nice!
So far I've been busy peeling off wallpaper from a wall in our future bedroom + peeling off paint from a hideous wallpaper that I totally understand why the former owner painted over, but I just wonder what kind of shitty paint she's used coz I can pull it off and it's all rubbery :/
