Since the first time we looked at this house, we have wanted to open up a wall in the kitchen. That way it opens the sitting room to the whole kitchen. It wasn't top priority on the "to do" list, but it finally made it to the top.
The plan of attack being discussed.
Take off the first piece of pine and make sure there are no ugly surprises, then start to cut out the rest of the pine from the sitting room wall.
The circular saw is heavy when you're holding it over your head. Taking turns makes it easier.
Just about finished.
Pulling the nails that held the pine on.
Now to start cutting the kitchen side.
It's hard cutting the drywall above your head and between studs on the wrong side of the drywall - or I guess it's the right side of the drywall.
The first peek through.
Trimming the edges.
Getting it ready to put trim on.
There we go ... time for beer. Now we have to go shopping for trim and a railing.
Then there will be flooring and furniture.

This wasn't part of the wall. Ken brought me some roses the other day and the picture turned out so pretty.

Very nicely done. Looks great.
It does look better. Did it take all day?
That looks spectacular.....what a huge difference....guess I better get up there and see it in person. Not this week - maybe next.
It took part of the day Saturday and part of the day Sunday.
The kitchen feels so open and friendly. I'll post pix when the trim and railing are all done.
