Jared knocked out the wall between our kitchen and dining room last week....
The kids thought it was great fun to watch him and will still tell folks that 'Daddy broke the wall.' He has also removed the crown molding and chair rail in the dining room.
The trim and pantry & laundry doors in the kitchen that were once dark wood are now an antique white.
The walls that were once red are slowly becoming a sprig of ivy.
Our hardwood floors are going to be put in over three weekends, which means that we'll have to be traveling three weekends in a row. I'm not too sure how I feel about that, but it is what it is and we'll find a way to roll with it.
I've learned several things about remodeling projects thus far....
*time is always relative and schedules are always subject to change. this rule is helping me to grow my patience.
*there will always be some 'something' that must be done that you hadn't planned on. Because there was an outlet and light switch in the wall that we knocked out, jared and his dad are having to rewire that whole side of the kitchen.
*the folks at home improvement stores are not always the most helpful nor the most diligent of workers.
*my husband has many hidden talents. it has been amazing to me to watch jared become quite the DIY-er. theres not much he can't do around the house.
