slowly figuring out how it's constructed. some of it's weird, some of it's janky. most of it's not so bad.

got a quote for an official asbestos inventory. approved it, hoping i can get them to stop by some time next week. at this point it seems unlikely there is asbestos in anything i'm taking apart but i'm not sure and i rather would be

got a first quote for removing the stair lift the previous owner had installed. waiting on a second quote just because i'm curious what the spread is like, but i should be able to get it removed maybe next week as well. can't wait to reclaim that space on the stairs β€” they're very narrow so this will make them much nicer

the shed is constructed better than i thought. mostly just need to fix (replace?) the roof and probably replace the plywood that warped from water damage. i probably won't need to rebuild it any time soon, maybe just pour a concrete floor on top of the tiles currently in there

i'm starting to develop a plan of attack here: remove most of the interior walls and false walls, break open the living room ceiling, redo the subfloor on the second story, run all my new wiring (and some spare conduit while i'm at it), then hang new drywall, install outlets, etc.

once i have the all clear on asbestos i think the only limiting factors really are time and money (as opposed to executive function + other people's time). can't wait

in reply to @corhocysen's post:

i do not wish to be discouraging however i would be remiss not to comment: first thing i did when moving into my first House was rip out half the walls on the first floor. that was eight years ago. perhaps a third have been put back up and i cannot, in any dimension of reality, imagine having the energy to do the rest at this point

well, based on prior big projects i do think i will get there eventually... although if i lose momentum it might take a bit

honestly as long as it doesn't involve major planning or thinking i kinda welcome doing non computer stuff like this usually

ugh asbestos issues - I had to deal with mine by breaking off pieces for testing (wear a mask!) since the old owner did an add-on to the house that was entirely in asbestos. Take it one step at a time!
