A little demolition, building and cleaning.

We seemed to do a little bit of everything this weekend but feel like we didn’t get a thing done all at the same time. I hate weekends like this because it is the little things that you have to do to move the project forward, but then you stop and ask yourself what you actually got accomplished. It is what it is, and next week we will have 3 full days and then Chad is taking that first week off in September….so good vibes in the universe that by the end of that week, A LOT will be done and I’ll be feeling good about the progress.

This weekend, we needed to get the dust down as every time you walk on the old floor, I swear a bucket of dust went in the air. We purchased a cheesy carpet cleaner (knowing we would ruin it) and cleaned the floors, that has helped. I have decided I’m going to get some remnants and put those down to help as well as the tile is the LAST thing to get done and I going a little crazy with this dust. We did get the rest of the ceiling down in the one part of the kitchen, started moving wiring, put in the extended AC duct work, demolished the walls of the old pantry and put up the walls to the new pantry! Here is to a fast work week so we can hammer a lot out next week!

This is the old pantry wall – that is halfway in.
I had to add this, you will be able to see this in the pictures to follow that there will be a hidden empty spot here. Not really as on the other side is the laundry room and we will cut out the back area to expand the laundry room by this little bit. It will be hidden for awhile though!
Tore it down to make the whole area the new walk-in gourmet pantry
Demolition completed
That will be the new pantry – 5.5×11 and you can see the expanded duct work at the top middle.
