Befores and Afters

Well, our house is still being deconstructed. Here are a few progress pictures that remind us that, yes, eventually something DOES get done around here. :)





This is a picture of the wall between the kitchen and the living room. The big rectangular shape that has no studs is going to be knocked out and will eventually become a counter top and view into the living room from the kitchen. Pretty excited about this, just not excited about MAKING the big hole.

The post at the top is basically holding our whole house together. Below this photo is a picture of that post that I affectionately call, Sampson.





Silas just wanted to prove that he knows how to climb a ladder...



Here's looking INTO the kitchen FROM living room...
Most of the space above the sofa will be gone to frame out an opening for the counter top.

Most of the space to the right of the beam here is what will be knocked out.
