And the Walls. . . Come Tumbling Down

First of all, we're pleased to say that the mud room is functional and looks good to boot. We'll move the refrigerator into the room soon, but for now, the room has already come in handy. The pocket door allows us to feed Angus her breakfast and dinner without one lively little puppy harrassing her. Plus the shelves hold a lot of food which will come in handy when we get rid of the kitchen cabinets.

But the most exciting news is that the kitchen wall is almost gone! (Slideshow below.) From the beginning when Bill was explaining the ways of science to Elijah (ala Monte Python) to only the studs remaining, it took just about an hour or so--and almost no swearing! There is already a lot more light in the kitchen and the space feels huge! The next step is to work on the wiring which Bill will probably do today. Then, it's time to tear out the cabinets. It's starting to feel like we're really making some progress.
