We have an open space!


Jeremy helped Todd lift the beams into place on Friday morning, and when we came home at around 6 pm, the temporary walls were down. The vertical beam you see in the picture is only there until Monday, when Todd is going to finish attaching that part of the beam to the rest of the joists. WOW!!!


This weekend's projects include making many decisions on stuff, including flooring, a refrigerator (and maybe other appliances). Besides that mental work, we will finish taking the old kitchen down, clean out the train room completely, and begin the work on removing the old floor in the kitchen. (sorry to offend anyone who loves blue and white cracking vinyl). Somewhere in there comes soffit demolition, a trip to the dump, plumbing and electrical work.


This week, Todd will move the door from the garage that currently leads into the kitchen, work on patching the drywall in the kitchen, and maybe even begin framing the new space that will house the mudroom and the bathroom. Cabinets are supposed to arrive on Monday (yes, December 3!)
