Progress

It sure is a lot faster to tear things out than it is to build them back up. That's true with our words and our tools apparently.

We're a week into our remodel and progress is slow but sure.

We've had trouble with our laundry line for years. I'm pretty sure this is why (Mom, all those years of the washer overflowing...this is it):



And here's the open trench that is in the middle of my kitchen. Envision a nice, new, clean, hole-free pipe here to feed the kitchen sink!



Ahhh...the sound of a jackhammer early in the morning. The laundry which used to sit right here is being moved to the other side of that wall. Uh...what wall? Well, there used to be a wall right there. It will be a door for direct access to the garage.



The makings of a new wall. Interesting how this pile of wood will become someplace to house the microwave and showcase a cedar chest inherited from my great-grandmother.



Here's Matt starting the process of building the new entry wall.



On the Loose? Well, he's in heaven! Our future "great room" is his living classroom for now! Notice the helmet, the goggles and the backpack (which is holding his drill because it kept falling out of his pocket). In this shot he is "jackhammering the floor to break it."



Next up...framing the new walls!
