What a difference a day makes

Well we've officially begun renovations!  It's amazing how quickly a house can be demolished.  If only they could put it back together as quickly!  We've got one week under our belt and have already encountered our first hiccup.  I think we took it in stride and have made arrangements to work around it. 

So far they have removed all the tile, popcorn ceiling, crown molding and demo'ed the kitchen.  Part of the wall in the kitchen has come down but it is load bearing and the posts are exactly where we didn't want them to do be.  We did a little reconfiguring to the layout and a new support beam and post should be put in on Monday.

Please excuse how dark some photos are - I only get to see the progress in the evening and the electricity isn't always on :)

House all cleared out...

 So that's where all the furniture went!  All the bedrooms look like this...
 No more wood paneling.  This will be the new TV wall.
Good-bye 80s drop down ceiling.  It didn't seem like the drop down was concealing any duct work - I guess it was purely decorative :)

 My nemesis wall...
 A sneak peek to the tile that they are hopefully starting to install on Monday.

  2. Wow! It's all cleared out. It's going to be so nice. Just removing the drop down ceiling will make things feel so much more open. Can't wait to see more. :)
