Bump out for the raceway is the back wall of the shower

Tub is in position

Light in place over the shower enclosure to-be

Hook up for the shower assembly

Hulk Smash!

Major demolition in the master bedroom.  Yes, there was a fireplace behind the 'built in' bookshelves and cabinet

Digging into the ceiling and walls

At least they are trying to do a better job of protecting the hardwood floors and furniture.  The drywall jerkwads made a huge mess and left (including tracking drywall mud all through the house).  One of the other contractors spend 2 hours cleaning up their mess.

Master bedroom slowly turning into a construction zone

So

Entire exterior wall removed in the back corner of the house.  This is apparently the new 'construction entrance' to the house as the framers just put a ladder up there and come and go.

They have whacked a hole through the exterior wall in the master bedroom to the great outdoors as well.

Gonna need something more than a broom to clean up that mess...

Temporary wall in the master bedroom with a view of the existing 'master bath' (basically a bathroom wedged into a closet.  Problem for them is they need to get the other bathroom done before they can break into this one.

One step closer to being done.  Should be completed on Monday so the toilet can be placed.

One step closer to being done.  Should be completed on Monday so the toilet can be placed.

 

So
One is getting closer to being done:

While the other is slowly being de-constructed

 

Yep, the exterior wall in the master bath is now a piece of plywood...

So

Cabinets are down and being donated to Habitat for Humanity

   

It is very clever to have a block of electrical outlets BEHIND your range hood

So

Entry to the 'red zone'

Exterior wall in the solarium is completely gone.  That is a temporary wall/support that will be removed when the structural steel is in place.

Great big mess that they clean up every morning, only to make another one in the course of the day.

Here is a great idea, run a cast iron drain pipe down an uninsulated exterior brick wall.

This is the last corner of the wall that needs to go.  Fortunately, it is more wood than brick.  I am sure they will make quick work of this.
