Demo Day

Well, last Friday we closed on our new home...

… and Saturday we went to work!

All the carpet on the main level needed to come out as well as 1/2 a wall 

and what I am calling, our “fence”. 

This is the wall - it is between the kitchen and living room. 

And this is the “fence”. 

Jim and Jaxen got to work on the fence...

and Becky got to work on the carpet!

Jaxen loved Demo Day!

We let him kick down part of the wall and he was so excited!

Look at that face! 

This was after the wall came down. 

All the carpet is out of the house, plus the “fence” and most of the wall.

We have to work with a contractor and an electrician to 

make sure everything is structurally sound and done correctly. 

Because we took out 1/2 a wall, we needed to replace the paneling 

with sheetrock on that side of the room.

Well, since we were replacing the paneling on one side,

we decided to replace the paneling on the other side too!

And since we are tearing out the paneling,

we might as well add new insulation, right?!

Are you seeing a pattern?!

Haha!

Here is the opposite wall in the living room.

And the wall above the fence. 

One of my co-worker’s husband has been helping out some,

and he made this non-working light/fan, working, plus he added a double switch for it!

Lots of work…but we are excited!

Not all of this happened on Saturday.

Nik has been there Monday and today as well, with a helper!
