Kitchen Reno- Part 2--- Demo!!

This is the first day of demo. Jon had to work in preparation for his full week (YEA!!) off! So, Jon's dad did a little tester to see what could be behind the wall. I think he was Happy with what he saw, and got a better idea of what and how everything

had to be done.Saturday was the first day of real demo. Everyone was involved and loving the destruction! The kids had a "hay day" hammering holes in to the wall, and it were ensued with laughs and shrieks of delight.

They first had to cut the wall down from the middle and top, then we began to swing!

Even I got a turn!!!
Maya trying to keep the noise out..and yes...we did have the
"Don't put anything in your ears" speech afterwards..



before we knew it..it was all done....
Then the easy work was done, and came the hard stuff.... finishing, cleaning, wiring, reflooring(more on that..) countering, and lighting...
It was a fun time taking that wall down, something I'm sure we wont ever forget!! The best post is yet to come..!!
