Big, HEAVY weekend

It's a big weekend coming up.  The dining room wall is coming down.
 
Walt Kowalski and I prepped the wall last night.  We have a support wall on both sides of the old wall.  We had to have a support wall on both sides because there are two sets of beams above and of course, the wall we are removing holds them both. So the wall on the left holds the ceiling (floor) on the left and the wall on the right holds the ceiling (floor) on the right. 
 

 
Mostly it looks like we built a forest of 2x4s.


It's very exciting. I can't wait to see it finished!

We still have to build the beam.  The planning stages tells us that we might have to open the back window in the laundry room, slide the new beam partially outside and then maneuver it around and between this forest of 2x4s. 

That's us.  Never a dull moment.
