A great deal has been accomplished since Thursday morning. I tackled the flooring first thing that morning and got the hall and kitchen tile removed, tore out the sofett above the kitchen cabinets, removed the old vent hood and exhaust pipe (as we are putting in a ventless microwave over the stove) and removed the cabinet over the bar. Friday morning Cynthia and I tackled the remaining wood tile in the dining room and got it out as well. Picked up supplies, ran wiring, installed two new light boxes and an outlet.....and basically worked till we were dragging.

A great big THANK YOU to my Dad who met us at Home Depot and transported our materials home (including 1,000 lbs of tile)! And a great big THANK YOU to our friend Mike Murray who helped us hang a full sheet of sheetrock at a crucial time! (He is also helping us with a difficult compound miter cut, whatever that is! LOL!) Everyone has been so kind and concerned, some even dropping by to visit. A big shout out to Susan (who helped coordinate color and tile choices); my brother Doug (who is helping with the tiling); and our cousin Scott (who gave electrical advice) and all that came by!"

I have included pictures to show the progress: sheet rock installed, lights wired, outlet installed and wired, mud and tape, and a 8-yard container filled with debris. Amazing progress! More pictures to come as we have decided to paint the cabinets with the high-gloss oil-based white enamel on the rest of our woodwork and the counter man will be here Friday to install the new countertop and stone backsplash. Then the tile throughout the dining room, kitchen and foyer. Finally paint the walls, re-install or replace the carpet and get back to normal! Whatever that is! LOL!
