Not much has happened really, have chipped away and wire-brushed off all loose concrete/paint/plaster. The next step is to rent a demolition hammer to remove tiles and the shower base (in a part of the basement).
A question. For some reason, holes have been made in the chimney from two rooms. There are no pipes or cables, but for some reason, someone thought it was a good decision. Can I fill in those holes? It's not a neat job, to put it that way.
Otherwise, I now realize that every panel is down and there is DIY electrical work throughout the basement. I found a cable with loose copper wires that were live behind a panel. Some sugar cube solutions with 230V as well. So now the children are forbidden to enter until an electrician has been here.

Small update:
The electrician was here and removed what was directly life-threatening. I have sprayed foam in the drains and will seal them once the foam has hardened. It's a bit disturbing to see thousands of worms in the drain. I guess it's completely normal?
Removed 20 m2 of tiles that were in one of the rooms; it was pretty damp under the tiles in some places. That's not so great... It was unexpectedly easy to remove the concrete foundation of the shower cabin; the Biltema machine worked well!
A little question about why a concrete grinder is so incredibly expensive? There are large areas to grind, and I can't set aside three days but have to do a bit at a time. A halfway decent machine costs upwards of 10,000 SEK! It looks like a somewhat stronger angle grinder. Renting is, of course, an option, but it doesn't fit well with the time I can allocate.
