More Demo

 Out for a short visit to install monitoring systems.  Doing some discovery demo.  Pulled up the carpet in the kitchen to reveal 3/4 ply was used in the kitchen, but 1/2" chip board was using in the rest of the living area.

Given how much the old chip board flexes, this means I'll need to replace all of it with proper 3/4" subfloor material.  I could get away without doing that, but for the long-term it's much better to have good flooring, particularly since I plan to use a luxury vinyl flooring.

Also removed some of the side wall in the kitchen.  Confirmed that the drywall area over the cabinets is empty, and was just done for looks, so I can remove it when it's time to do the kitchen.

Also got a proper toilet to install.  The current toilets in the house as super small.  This is a proper comfort height and elongated toilet.  Also dual flush.

Finally, started pulling up more carpet on the stairs.  Turns out they rounded off the steps.  I plan to add 1" of length to each step, but seeing that the current steps are rounded means I'll need to replace the treads entirely.  This is actually not a big deal, and will make the steps more secure in the long run.
