Monday

Oh me oh my, this project is feeling huge! Monday was the day for the electrician to come, and everything is almost done. He will be back for a little bit on Tuesday. John and Jeremiah did some framing and reinforcing and I think everything is ready for the drywall Tuesday.

One little crick in the system is that the kids all have colds. Argh!! They are stuffy and cranky by spells, not exactly the best week for it. Oh well, we will do this!

This is the new vent for the microwave above the stove. Nice:)

Saturday

Friday

Lots of fun today:) We start out with a picture of the roll off dumpster truck because Ethan was fascinated by it (he wanted a picture so he could make one out of legos!) and thought I should include it:) It was a busy day, the mason was working on the basement and the dumpster came and we emptied the kitchen into the dining room AND the cabinets were delivered. AHHHH!!!

Kitchen Friday AM with the appliances removed.

rest of the house as it looks packed with everything that has been shifted.

ta da!! There's those cabinets. The boys are already planning what they will do with all those boxes and mommy can even envision some pretty cool forts:) Hans REALLY wanted to climb on them. I left the room and in two minutes he was calling plaintively cause he was stuck: balanced on the top edge of the pellet stove door and the box next to it!! When I punished him he got more upset when I firmly informed him he would never climb on those boxes than from the actual punishment.

one of the 3 styles of floor under our present floor, any takers?

Jeremiah cleaning off that floor, all the way down to the hardwood.

ooh, aah! The beautiful ceiling that is revealed by taking off the drywall. We shall keep it and paint it and it shall be ours:)

Wednesday and Thursday

more cabinets coming out after Earon and I emptied them on wed.

Last afternoon snack in the old kitchen

Jeremiah started ripping out the cabinets this weekend. Now the fun begins!
