Map all electrical outlets to breakers then turn-off the breakers. Lock the breaker box so someone does not “re-energize” the circuits without you knowing. Yes, I learned the hard way.

Breakers off. Water lines all shut off. Plastic up the room to stop the spread of the demo mess around the house. Also don’t need to swing sludge hammer hard or any of that, pry bar and the right leverage is good for most of it. 🫵🫶✌️💪
