We had to tackle the back two rooms first (lower level) so that we could also accomodate the new mudroom we're adding for our side entrance (where we enter from the garage upstairs). We'll need to add in some in-floor support, so tearing down the ceiling in the lower level rooms was the best way to do that at this point.
While tearing down the back two rooms, we discussed plans of what we wanted to do with the space. When we first finish this newly expanded room, we're going to move in and make it our (2nd) temporary master bedroom. There's also a bathroom attached, and we're planning to hopefully tackle at the same time. This way, we'll have a nice clean suite to escape to from all the work that will be underway upstairs.
Once the upstairs renovations are finished and we move into our real master bedroom, we're planning to make that back room downstairs a "man cave" for the man of the house -- Tyson! Haha, no I'm just kidding. It will be Frank's man cave of course! We have decided exactly what will go in there furniture wise just yet, but we'll defintely include a TV and possibly a pull-out couch for extra guests (in additional to a traditional guest room).
It's exciting to see progress in the renovation! Things are really coming along... here are some photos from the demo in the back two rooms (so far)...

| Lots of drywall coming down in there! |

| Drywall aftermath. |
 |
| More progress! We made it down to the cinderblock and cleaned up that big mess... |
 |
| Ceiling is out now too... just about done with demo in here.
Once we take up the carpet we'll be just about finished with demo in here. Then we'll move onto rewiring, replacing the window (to a more energy efficient one), replacing the flooring, dry locking the cinder, adding back walls, painting and decorating! I'll keep you posted as this room evolves, but so far, so good in here!
