Major Project: Kitchen Demolition - Part 1

About one month after we moved in, we started demolition in the kitchen area. Our grand plans were to open up the kitchen into the dining room by removing half of a wall between those rooms.

This little "window" from the kitchen to the dining room inspired us to take down half of the wall!

Since Robbie had the summer off from teaching, one Monday he just went to work on demolishing the wall. He also was able to get some help from one of his students! When I got home from work that day, here's what i found:

One side of the wall is torn off, showing the studs. Yes, that's Robbie with the face mask!
"I'm so strong, I can tear down walls with my bare hands!"

"Look honey! I'm taking apart the wall!"
Yay! We can see through the wall!
While fun, demolition is dirty and dusty business. We put up plastic tarps in the doorways of the dining room and kitchen to try to keep the dust from getting too far into the house, but it still got tracked everywhere. But before things get better, they have to get worse!
