Remodel Day One

Day One:

Oh my dust! Walls are coming down and the house stinks!! They have successfully took down the pony wall. Now they are working on the wall that separates the formal living from the family room. I know that sounds strange but our house was built in 1971 and what is supposed to be our family room/ dining area is just long and narrow there isn't really any room to arrange furniture. So the plan is to make it all one large great room. It will all be more on the formal side of things. We have 5 bedrooms and we turned the 5th bedroom into a retreat where I store all my craft supplies and have two of the best recliners ever. This is where my hot glue magic happens.

Here is a picture of the inside from our front door. I forgot to snap pictures before we took out the floor. It was a floating floor system 20 minutes start to finish to get out. There was carpet too and that came out pretty quickly. We did this a few days ago to save a buck.

 You can see the dividing wall in the above picture. That is gone now!

Already looking better don't ya think?

Here are a couple shots from the kitchen with no more pony wall.

As you can see my cat is trying to figure out what the heck is going on. We are moving the pony wall to the opposite side so we can get some more cabinets in and have it flow with the rest of the cabinets.

It has only been one day and I am ready for it to be over. So much noise and dust! The workers have been awesome and cleaned up before they left. So far way better than our bathroom remodel.
