Carpet, Ceilings and Kitchen Wall Demo

Yesterday was a long day.  As of last week Friday, we are staying with our gracious friends, Kim and Jordan.  All of our belongings are packed into the garage at our new place; it's a full on construction zone.  

It's hard to capture all the work that's happened.  We've been going there just about everyday trying to conquer little bits of demo at a time.  Our friends: Mitchell, Jordan,and Kim have been very helpful this past week.  

Demo is almost complete.  

1) Carpet:  we said bye bye to the carpet the day we got the keys.  We want our own carpet, not someone else's.

Popcorn Ceiling:  scraping, edging and sanding almost complete;  It's very tedious work. The boys did the bulk of the rooms, but I was deemed "the finisher."  We still need to do a final sanding. 

Wall between Kitchen and Living Room:  only studs remaining, but they're load bearing (the beam will be another post).  We started with the trim and cabinets.  Soon, we were ready to bust down the drywall!  Kitchen and living room views.

There are many more things to be done! Kim and I attempted to hedge the hibiscus bushes (that are kind of like small trees now) and tidy up the front of the house. Mike, Mitch and Jordan finished demoing all three bathrooms. I'll post pics next post.
