On your mark..

This was in our driveway when we arrived home from the day on Thursday...



I have had to watch the men of the house carefully. They were so excited they wanted to start tearing the walls down that night. However, luck was on my side as the big man had a tie flying class to attend. So after dinner, he left and the little big man had to get his bath and prepare for school. That gave me time to pack up two more boxes.

Since it is Saturday TODAY, the guys were ready to get to work. I had to put dishes away so the dishwasher could be removed. I also had to leave the house to do some grocery shopping. I was nervous to leave them unsupervised but perhaps it was better for me to be away. This is the ugly kitchen I left behind.











Before I left, our son was already ripping up the floor. He has been waiting to do that for months.


We made progress today. Removed the dishwasher, removed the cabinets above and next to the kitchen sink, removed the sink, and some of the paneling in the stairwell and kitchen. The kids also removed most of the floor.

The big guy installed a utility sink so we can have a functioning kitchen and I managed to pack up a few more boxes. We also moved the table into the front, I mean, dining room so we can eat in a finished room (until we open the kitchen up into it). Enjoy the pictures! It has been a long day and it'll be a short night as we spring ahead (Day Light Savings begins).










Not bad for Day 1!
