Here are the pictures from Saturday aka Demolition Day.;-) Surprisingly we got both walls down and half the cabinets in a few...8...hours ha!
Audrey got to knock in the first holes in the dining room wall. We are opening the space so I can see out into the backyard and watch Cohen while I am prepping meals! It looks so amazing!
Dallas and Dad are old pros at the tearing down and rebuilding houses... so they were our contractors. Dallas and Patrick spent about an hour putting in two support beams in the attic. One of the walls was not load-bearing, but we wanted to be safe. This is an awesome house and I do NOT want ceilings caving in on our dinner table!

| Wait, how come we aren't working and Dallas is cutting the electrical box...?? |
Here is the 'finished' look, for now. You can see both the entire wall, and the partial that will eventually be a bar for extra seating. We laid old carpet on those newly finished floors...because all that drywall coming down was nerve-wracking! Also, those large windows you can see all the way to the back of the yard - it is such a perfect view ;-)
