getting inside the walls...

So Eric's parents came another year to visit AND helped us on the house. Great folks! Believe it or not but they wanted to help. Okay, it's hard work guys.
Here's a step back view...

One of the best decisions we have ever made on this house while working on it...
A plastic sheet dividing the work area from the non-work area...

Gary. Nice smile!
This thing kept most of the dust inside the work area. We should have done this on the other rooms too. Although, this room/project produced the most dust.
The old semi-finished existing kitchen counter with sink served as a nice work bench for the moment.
Gary fixed the work lights. Thanks Gary! That makes a huge difference in seeing what we're working on. :)

old wall showing where the old paint was and the old cabinets were...
new can lights... chose to move one of the cans to a different place
You can see on the floor the old green linoleum kitchen flooring underneath the newer tan colored stick on vinyl tiles.
The new organized area for tools while working on the kitchen... (this used to be the living room).


















Look at all this dust! So glad for the plastic sheet.


























































Wow so much dust!






















While Eric's at work, the father works too. Thanks for wearing a mask.

















Trying to look through the plastic sheet. Grandma, with her recent going of her sight probably sees as well as this. wish there was a cure or treatment for macular degeneration.

















I like the shadows in these pictures.


































































Electrical has been run... lights over the sink have been installed...
there's a plan of action on the window on post-it notes...
