Walls gone

Walls are down -

plumbing and electrical

is being roughed in.

The above picture shows you

just how small the

kitchen was.

It is still going to be small but

after walking in the house

and seeing it all open

the design of the kitchen changed.

I'm excited that it will not be closed in

and we worked with the

cabinet man to

come up with a new 

kitchen design that will allow the

kitchen to stay open.

Yippee!!!

 Soon to be dining room and

laundry room.

The temporary wall is in the doorway of 

the new family room.

Another one of the dining and laundry room

from a different angle.

Looking out into the garage.

Taking the old bathtub out of 

the master bathroom.

Another shot of the kitchen.

The guest bathroom is in the background.

 Things have changed since these pictures were 

taken.

I'll save them for another post -

Hopefully, Friday.

Until then -

Moving along

Well, I didn't get over to do a post

this weekend -

BUT

that doesn't mean I wasn't here.

Dan and I worked on getting the old laminate

flooring out of the kitchen and both 

bathrooms.

Dan uses a roofing shovel to get the corner up

and then I pull up the flooring.

To say that I am sore would be

a MAJOR

understatement!

I have used muscles I didn't even

know I had -

and we still have the rest of the house

to do -

both bedrooms,

living room, dining room,

laundry room, office,

 and two hallways!

Oh my!!!!

We have decided that we will work about an hour

every afternoon after the guys leave

and we hope to be able to get

 it all done in a week.

We shall see.

I realized that I haven't posted 

many pictures so - 

I'll show you some of the 

guys setting the

trusses

on the family room and

porch.

These are from a couple of 

weeks ago -

we are a lot further

along now.

Dan helping out - getting the

trusses attached

to the fork lift.

So much has changed since these photos, 

but I'll save them

for a later

post.

Maybe (???) tomorrow.
