Things are progressing around here. We tore out more of the kitchen, including part of the wall and most of the cabinets and floor. We left the sink so we can still pseudo-operate for a few more days. I never imagined the repercussions of taking down a wall in an older house….removing plaster has resulted in what seems to be about 300 pounds of sandy, gravely mess to shovel out in buckets.
Here’s a photo that shows one part of the process of taking down plaster. Behind the plaster was a metal mesh (pictured) that we had to cut through and take down.
Here is a photo of the floor after taking down a small piece of wall. Imagine this much stuff to clean up times 50….from the wall and floor demo, I think that would be about accurate.
Here is the current state of the kitchen.
Here is the new doorway between the kitchen and dining room framed (the new opening is twice as wide as the old one). We’re now in the process of patching and sanding.
Stan was very happy to have me involved in the process this weekend moreso than in the past. More photos to come…..
