Our Christmas Break with the new house! Pt. 3


First of the base cabinets are out!


We unearthed quite a few little treasures including a note that included a quarter... the note said, "I guess your wish didn't come true."


The mudroom post cabinets... you will notice all the screw holes!


Mud room from the opposite angle



The rock wall in the living room was something we actually liked about the house (the rocks had been taken from the previous owners family farm) but when we were removing the trim on the door next to it a piece fell off. This made us decide that it would be better for the wall to come down then risk someone getting hurt!


Strategizing on how to remove the wall while minimizing damage to the plaster wall!
(Michelle likes to call this the meeting of the minds!)


The first brave tap!


Bringing down the wall!
(safety first boys... way to go!)


Sweet progress!


It came down in one big piece! (plus rubble)


All the rubble and dust!


The wall after it was removed... not too bad!


So much mess!


The attic got new insulation!


The wall post project... will need to be filled and remuded... but better than having to replace the wall!
