And the Walls Came Tumbling Down

The demolition phase of our kitchen remodel has commenced. The boys have been extremely helpful in the tearing down of walls and the removal/scraping of our dirt-nasty, hideous, old linoleum. I'd like to think that it's due to the wonderful work ethic we've instilled in them, but I'm fairly certain that the sledgehammer and the sound of crumbling drywall were the real draw. In any case, they made short work of it.

Stay tuned for further Jost Kitchen Developments.








The half-wall between the kitchen and living room is gone. We've also torn down the walls of the walk-in pantry and have gained kitchen space. John has some electrical work and wall repair to do before he can install cabinets. The goal for the weekend is to lay the tile floor in the hallway and front entry.

Please ignore the mess in the backgrounds of the pictures. Most of our kitchen stuff is in boxes and on tables. The mess hasn't even started to bother me yet. I'm too excited about the prospect of a new kitchen to care! Also, please excuse the poor photo quality. Two of them were taken with the camera phone.
