A clean slate

Wow. We have a clean slate.

When John and I were thinking about buying our house, we knew that we wanted to do some fairly extensive work in the kitchen, namely getting rid of the trap door. In order to do this, we wanted to knock out the back wall of the kitchen out to the outdoors (where there was already a foundation). That part hasn't been done yet, but in our contractor's words "you'll have a small gymnasium with new plywood floors on Friday." And I believe him.

We heard on Friday that the water to the bathroom sink, toilet, and tub was going to be capped off in order to remove all of said items. Today, we came home to the bathroom being GONE. Walls and all. And, as a result, the walls to one of our bedroom closets.

In essence, we have a completely open space in what was the original 1870's structure. All 200 square feet of it. By the time we open up the back wall, we have about 350 square feet of open space to play with. For those that don't know, having that much room to play with in an older structure is basically unheard of.

I, for one, am excited and overwhelmed by the number of possibilities that we have by today's development.
