And MORE Demolition

The old bottom cabinets are finally coming out.
All I can say about this photo is, "like father, like daughter" - Cleo and Taylor
put their best side forward.

Boy am I glad to see this ugly stuff go!

And talk about ugly stuff. One big benefit to this work has been all the new electrical wiring Taylor has installed. There was some pretty worn and badly installed wiring in this house.


The highlight of my birthday in May was going to the local tile store, C-Side Decorating, to pick out the counter top and back splash materials. But, I forgot that all those wonderful materials could not be installed on wood paneling. Oops! Had to add another step - tear out old paneling and install sheet rock.

Man! That was hard work!!

Taylor has become so good at installing sheet rock that the extra work didn't mess up the "dreaded list." Behind him you can see the rest of that load bearing wall where we will put a pass-through into the new living room.
