D-D-D-Demo

Ceiling before
Doug and Pop had to move all the insulation from one end of the house to the other.  It was a nasty, nasty job, and they are glad that part is over. 
Cleaning up after we kicked the ceiling down "Jackie Chan" style.
Rafters are down
Old kitchen with cabinets still "hangin around".
The cabinets received their eviction notice 





The upper cabinets are gone! As you can see Pop is covering his eyes,  trying to hide his tears.  He didn't want us to see that he was going to miss the old cabinets :)
 Poppa and Chloe taking a lunch break on the front porch.
Ceiling is down in old kitchen.  We are amazed at how much bigger the house looks with the vaulted  ceiling. This is going to be the new dining room.  We are going to remove the wall that refrigerator is on now and also the wall on the right side.  This will open the back of the house into the living room. We are also taking the small window that is now in the kitchen and replacing it with a 72"x48" window and adding 3 skylights in the ceiling.  Doug is working on the electric tonight and will probably start planing the wood floor tomorrow morning.  We have our work cut out for us that is for sure, but slowly we are getting it done.  We made huge progress this weekend thanks to Pa and Mamaw.  Love you guys and thank you sooooo much.

  2. lots of hard work in there especially with the attic and insulation. I sure hope we don't ever need to do that again.
