Happy New Year!

2013 went out with a bang.  Actually, that was the sound of a hammer.

Walt Kowalski removed the old door between the kitchen and laundry room and framed a new door into the laundry room. 

Someone asked 'What is Walt Kowalski doing? Rebuilding the entire house one board at a time?'  Not exactly.  Not the entire house.  Just the weight-bearing walls.  He's also needs to support several walls so we can remove portions of the walls. Huh?  You want to support the walls so you can remove them?  You're talking nonsense.  To quote Walt, 'Trust me.' 

There was also some lath left on the wall up from the basement.  We left it so nobody (me) accidentally fell down the steps. 

No more lath.  There is still a little left on a wall up to the attic. 

I am still working in the basement.  I finished the back room and moved to the front room. 

Not as much progress as Walt Kowalski, but necessary. 

 

Bit by bit it's coming along.  Look out 2014!
