Independence from walls and ceilings

We find these truths to be self-evident:
The rain keeps pouring. And while the rain pours, the concrete can't.

* The good news is that the forecast for the next five days calls for sun. AND - five days is technically enough time to pour the new footings and piers. *

While it rained, rained, rained (except on the weekend when the foundation folks don't work), Chad and I declared our independence from the following:


The kitchen wall. We finally made a decision to take the whole wall. Chrissy helped take it out. She has some mad hammer-swingin' skills. We're going to install base cabinets to divide the kitchen from the living room. Oh - and we made some final decisions about the cabinets and countertops - Ikea birch cabs with a dark grey Numerar counter.


The strange box-like top to the office closet. The only way to get rid of the remnants of the closet was to take the ceiling in the corner. Kurt helped with that. Boys are strong. Chad and Kurt had lots of ceiling in their hair by the end.


And the guest room closet (also thanks in part to Kurt). The reciprocating saw got her way...



Popcorn Ceiling, we will be declaring our independence from you this weekend.
