The Accidental Renovation pt 5

October 25, 2019

Renovation Date: October 18, 2019 
So, Daniel works crazy days/hours and we actually had an evening off together, which is rare. This whole project began on a random day off together, our days off together usually mean either: we sit lazily all day or we get a wild hair and tackle some home project. There is really no in-between. All or nothing. I sometimes wish we were normal, but not usually. 



About ten minutes before this picture Daniel said "It's time to take out the island". I quickly snap-chatted my friends that he just said the sexiest thing I have heard in a very long time. I was GIDDY. I have wanted this damn island redone since we bought the house. I love the idea of the island but the execution wasn't my favorite. It is too close to the dishwasher and doesn't have seating- which I really wanted. 


 Quit talking about Fortnite and FOCUS. Its GO TIME. 
 SO, we found another partial layer of Linoleum. 
 Getting there, slowly, but getting there. 

What is this random picture you wonder? Well, after we got the island out I FINALLY convinced Daniel that we needed to go ahead and take out this portion of wall. Our newly painted, newly trimmed wall. We are idiots.
 Trying to get the correct breaker turned off so we can take the outlet for the oven out. We got it off, but not before Daniel got a little zap zap. The meter read "0"  when he started to remove it. I completely freaked out at this point.
                        
                           This is the only "before" photo of this wall I can find. This was our youngest's birthday. 


Oh hi, this is chaos. I was so excited to see what it would like without the wall-I stripped the paneling that covered this section- also recently painted and trimmed. We were waiting for our GOOD friend to bring us a trailer in the morning for all the debris.  Notice the
we have it still piled up partially in the kitchen, the other half is in the driveway at this point. I am sure our neighbors were thrilled.
