more demo work....

So, here are some of the pics that I've taken today thus far!



They tell me that the wall may be coming down today!! Once I get pics of that I'll definitely post more pics....I can't wait!

Yep, that wall came down today and boy does it make a difference already. The electrical is still in place, and some other wiring that is still dangling from the ceiling but that wall is OUTTA HERE!!! Check out the pics....
Here is the wall, stripped of the drywall on the side of the kitchen, ready to be taken down. They didn't just take a sledge hammer, as I anticipated but did it more systematically. First they stripped the dry wall from the kitchen side, and then they hit each stud on a perpendicular to loosen it and remove it, once all the studs were removed, the other side of the wall just came down.


Here it is--or should I say, here is NOT the wall! ALL GONE as Kateli says! No more division between the kitchen area and the family room. They also removed those built in shelves that we had to the side of the fireplace. Does it look different or what?



and these last two shots are again of the missing built in shelves, next to the fireplace. Hubby and Kateli in awe of the shelves being gone and the way that it transforms the rooms. I can't wait til this job is completed!
