Yesterday Matt and I destroyed the kitchen soffit. It was a hideous remnant from the 70s that needed to go. I need a demolition saw to cut out that framing and then I can remove the duct work. We don’t need that many vents in the kitchen, so we will reduce it to one next to the fridge (and above where the new pantry door will go).

I removed the shelving from the laundry room on the right hand side. I think we will rearrange the room so the washer and dryer will be side by side facing the brick wall. That should open things up quite a bit.


The dogs join us most nights. They seem to enjoy exploring the new place.

The entertainment room will soon become the staging ground for our move. We will probably dump most of our stuff in there until we figure out how we intend to furnish the house. Currently it has bamboo floors. Not sure what we will do about that. Also, I very much dislike that kiva fireplace.
