We're taking everything down to the bare walls, so the rebuild
is also going to involve painting and plastering. We also have
a drop ceiling (essentially a huge light soffit) that's coming
out; that comprises a bit more than half of the ceiling area
that will have to be rebuilt.

We also have to run gas in from the attic for the new range,
move a bunch of electrical outlets around, etc.

Personally, I think the contractor is being a little pessimistic
on the time estimates. But maybe that's realistic.
