Demolition Day #1

I never thought I would actually like waking up in the morning to the sound of hammers and saws. The demolition started exactly at 7:00 AM.  I was so thrilled to see that yellow dumpster in the yard.

This is the way the kitchen looked this morning.

Dining room this morning.

The framework on those walls is going to be taken out as soon as columns are added for support.  The light fixture is coming down and I have an idea for updating it and using it in another room.  

The family room had faux beams which make the ceiling appear lower. 

 See the back corner shelving, it was removed. 

 Faux beams are gone along with the wallpaper on the ceiling! 

See that blue tarp in the background, that is the barrier to the upstairs which is supposed to keep out the dust.  Hope it works.  

Can hardly wait to see what is knocked down tomorrow so check back for updates.
