The Best of Friends
This weekend was the most productive by far, thanks to friends Jeremy, Chet, Mike and Julie.
It started on Friday when I took the day off work. Jeremy came in from Oregon to help on the project, as he was already in Indiana helping his folks build an addition to their house. He came in and we started more demo work. We started in the kitchen by ripping out the dividing wall between the kitchen and the dining room. We theorized that the wall was there since the house was built in the '50s, and in that era, people didn't look so kindly on things like kitchen labor-- out of sight out of mind; almost like building a second staircase for the butlers, or indentured servants, or slaves, or whatever they were. But this is the '00, and the kitchen is the centerpiece of the house. That's why I'm putting most of my resources into making it nice.
