And we're off to a good start...

So, the kitchen remodel is officially underway! The first crew showed up this morning--when I say crew, I'm just referring to one guy (a second one came later in the day). :) So, the carpet in the family room was rolled back halfway; and we've got a plastic wall in the middle of the room, as well as in the doorway between the dining and the kitchen. These are there to confine the dust to the kitchen area, rather than spreading throughout the house. The refrigerator was moved to the dining room area, temporarily and more of the old cabinets came down. Work hours today were from 10:30 to about 5:00pm. I believe tomorrow they will start a little earlier, more like 8:30am. Kateli did well today, we are all tired after the work that we did this weekend. But considering having strangers in the house, and noise throughout the day she did great. Of course, I know today's noise level is nothing compared to the days ahead of us, especially on the day that the wall comes down. Here are some pics of today's work....
