Back to Work

It's been almost a year since David and I started our construction sabbatical. At least, that's what I'm calling the months of ignoring all that work that could have / should have been done. But that hiatus came to a halt this morning.

David launched into finishing the laundry room and starting some work in the kitchen. (With old homes it seems like one project will always lead into another project. In our case, in order to finish the laundry room project it required demolition in the kitchen so that my pantry could be made.) David took out our door between the kitchen and laundry room, and then started to tear out the wall where my pantry is going to be.

Some might hate the mess (I know it grates on my nerves), but I still find a thrill in a new construction project. Watching a house transform due to your (or your husbands) hard work, is something to be proud of!

David tore the panelling from the wall.

I removed the lath.

Sophie did her share by guarding the worksite.
