Demolition weekend

Since the first time we looked at this house (a year ago) we have wanted to knock down this wall that seperated the kitchen and den/family room. Picture on the left is looking from the kitchen, on the right is looking from the den.

When my parents decided to visit us this weekend, we took advantage of their help and got the wall down. (We really means Nae and Grandaddy, of course.) Here they are in the midst of getting the wall down.

And, here is the finished product. I love the way it looks and now it's hard to imagine that wall even being there. It really opened up both rooms a lot.

Thanks, Grandaddy for all your help; we couldn't have done it without you. Now on to phase 2 - laying down floor in the den.
