The Wall is Out

Huge changes today. The wall between the kitchen and dining room has been removed and a support beam has been installed. The soffits have also been removed, opening things up. When I came home today, the electrician was cleaning up, so I had the opportunity to find out what had happened during the day. Most of the overhead lighting has been installed and is working. The rough wiring for the island pendants and dining room light has been done as well as for the in-cabinet and under-cabinet lighting.

The utility sink in the basement has been setup, just not hooked up. That should happen either Thursday or Friday this week.

On Friday, the existing casement window will be coming out and the new 6 foot triple casement window roughed in. The window isn't expected to be available for a few weeks, however, the plumber and electrician need to know the exact location so they can complete their work.

If all goes well, the hardwood floors into the dining room should be going in next week.

I'm totally thrilled at how much has been accomplished in three short days!
