So we have finally started on our kitchen renovation! Woohoo! This is going to be a big project but we are super excited about it! I had 4 contractors come out last Thursday for different things and the electrician is scheduled to come out this Thursday to put new lights in. So far, we have taken out the soffits and most of the upper cabinets. We also have taken out most of the wall between the kitchen and family room. It's so nice having that wall gone! We have ripped out a lot of the sheetrock on the ceiling. (And boy, my abs hurt today from doing it!) There was going to be a lot of patchwork so we talked with the sheetrock guy and he thought it would be easier to just replace it. Maybe he just wanted our money, not sure! HA!
In the process of our demo, so far I have almost had a heart attack from a toy snake that was on top of the fridge; found a wasps nest in the ceiling - luckily they were all dead; found lots of mouse turds - gross; and cut the phone line disconnecting our internet - oops!
Here are a few pics:

We also found this piece of linoleum flooring up here in the ceiling, interesting...
We did all this demo on Sunday, then Monday my cousin and I made applesauce with 130 pounds of apples! I'm pooped! You can't find anything in my house because we have stuff everywhere from what was in the cabinets, and floor won't stay clean because of all the dust, but at least we have home made applesauce! Yummy! Next up, new lighting!
