Walls Go Back Up!

Last week the first stage of the electrical work was done by Boley Electric. After several days of ripping out more walls here and there, Brian started putting them back up, which, frankly, was more exciting than I anticipated. More than anything, it was just nice to have the kitchen feel like a real room again, and not some decades-old war zone. Plus, as a special Memorial Day Weekend gift to us, Brian moved the fridge back into the kitchen from the dining room. Now Wyatt and I can both eat at the table at the same time again!

Here's the main view of the newly-drywalled kitchen:

Here's the area where the fridge now goes, formerly inhabited by the oven, and far too many soffits. Without the soffits, the space seems huge!

Stepping out of the kitchen for a moment, the Solatube is now hooked up and brings so much natural light into the stair and hall--it's amazing!
