Knock Down Drag Out

Going big here for the next few weeks. I contacted a carpenter, got a bid, and Monday he arrives. My son had the wild idea to knock out a wall and have a bigger kitchen. Then while he's at it, we will do new floors in 5 rooms, refinish a hardwood in another, and paint 3 rooms and a  hallway...  Have Mercy.  My grandmother used to say, "Little bit do good. Whole lot do better."We shall see...

I will post some pictures as we progress.

This wall will be gone and the doorway to basement will be gone so access will have to be through exterior cellar type door. No snakes allowed!

Remember when you found out you were going to have a baby and the only way to get that precious bundle was to go through it...  because it was a lot of work but worth it...???  It kinda feels like that... (only babies, to be clear, are way better...)
