We're slowing making progress on the kitchen. I pray for rainy days...that's when the hubby works on the kitchen as his lawn service business takes priority...sigh!
The hubby and Josh are removing the plaster from the wall between the kitchen and dining room. The hubby wants to put a counter bar island in...as I said this project has a life of it's own!
While my house was being built one of the workers signed his name and gave his info on where he lived. I love finding things like this. Gives the house some personality. In the previous picture, there is a telephone ringer box in the corner of the wall...pretty cool. We also found a pocket knife that was left in the wall by someone.
The walls that were leading to the basement alcove and living room alcove have been removed.It makes the kitchen look so much bigger. We now need to tear out the hardwood floor to incorporate that part into the kitchen and extend the ceramic tile floor. The basement steps now are straight shot down...no more corners to have to turn and wasted space. Yeah!
It looks like one more day of demolition and we should be able to start working on reconstruction. With the forecast of 5 days of rain...maybe lots will get done...then again the forecast is for showers...so maybe not.
So glad the project is moving along. The writing behind the wall was a wonderful find. Wonder if the builder's relatives still live around here. When Lou replaced the medicine cabinet in the bathroom years ago, he and the girls put a note behind it with the date and a little bit about our family at the time.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's moving right along Dee....hope it is done for you soon! Love those oval stacked boxes you have too....so neat.
ReplyDeletePat,
ReplyDeleteKeelty built this development...I am assuming someone from the family is still is living as they built the newer townhomes up the street.
Funny about the note..maybe in 30 years someone will stumble upon the note when they remodel.

B,
ReplyDeleteThanks...I can't wait to see it either! I've been looking at new sinks, faucets and a dishwasher. I want a new stove too! Already picked one out...just need to get the money for it as it's a Maytag and pricey! Oh and we started talking granite for the countertops....don't even want to think about what that is gonna run!

Happy to see it is coming along for ya Dee! I don't envy you the mess, but oh the end result will be worth it! Looking great!
ReplyDeleteJody,
ReplyDeleteThanks. I go mad some days with the chaos...but then other days I take it all in stride. I will be glad when it's all done! Then we get to start on the basement renovations! Yippee! LOL!
