week 5: more demo

We finished demo-ing the kitchen (except for the bank of cabinets with the sink on it). We also removed a bank of cabinets from the nook and revealed more wallpaper! Ugh! But this stuff hardly had any glue left so it peeled off almost on it's own. We then started to take down a coat closet in the hall. (Don't worry - there were 2.) That was fun - until we saw that the main power line was coming into that wall. We ended up leaving up the framing, but we could still see how large the foyer is going to be. Next was the bedroom closet wall. The guest bedroom closet and the master bedroom closet are back-to-back. We took down the wall separating the 2 to make it into 1 huge master closet. We just scratched the surface of the whole remodel, but we can
see it starting to take shape. We're still pretty thrilled. Max will be meeting with the architect this week. No tip this week. Everything was pretty straight-forward, safety-first sort of thing. PICS: Top - Original narrow hallway; Bottom - Extra coat closet (almost) busted down to expand entry/hallway.
