This is the kitchen with the old linoleum coming up and the original flooring below also being removed. The black is the tar paper that goes between the subfloor and the flooring. The old flooring had to come up in order to get some of the height back for placing the new tile. The original owners put in a thick flooring and then linoleum to match the height of the 3/4" hardwood flooring in the foyer and dining room.

I have also removed all of the cabinet doors and drawers. All of the cabinets will be sanded down to degloss the surface and then be repainted and antiqued. This is by far the most difficult task. The popcorn ceiling removal was messy, but not quite the strain on the body that the floor removal has been.
