Saturday was the most transformative day of our remodel thus far. It was the day that the walls came down between the existing and new space (pictures in previous post). It was the first time that we were actually able to see our new space and envision living in it. As you may well imagine, it was thrilling to watch the transformation.
Thankfully, Tim & Karen graciously offered their assistance on Saturday. Scott and Tim went right to work removing or old cabinets and then started on tearing down the walls. Karen and I had the fun task of cleaning up the garbage and hauling it into the dumpster. All in all, I think we worked from 9-7 p.m. that day. By the end of the day, all the walls were down, the ceiling above the old kitchen was down, the new window in what will be the dining room was installed, and our new side door was installed. The space is now completely enclosed and sealed.
We spent Sunday more less recuperating from Saturday. We got the sink in the laundry room a.k.a “temporary kitchen” hooked up and I laid fresh mulch in our landscape gardens.
Monday was another productive day and we were able to install all the fly rafters to the outside of the house. Though this is generally a two person job, since we only have one extension ladder, Scott somehow managed to do this on his own. Now all we need to do is attach the fascia boards to the fly rafters and we’ll be all set to begin roofing.
As an aside, as I am now down a kitchen, if anyone has any good no-bake recipes, please send them my way!
