weekend visual representation...(continued)

Ok, so it took a little longer to get back and finish this post than I expected....but things have been going FULL speed at the house this week!

Brent did an awesome job learning how to solder copper pipes on the fly after the soffit came crashing down too soon, and hit a drain pipe...eek!

































Yes, Brent broke my finger....but it was not on purpose and he feels awful about it!































Here is the kitchen after being totally gutted and re-ceilinged after removing the soffit:


























































































Bobby & Mary came to help us out on Sunday afternoon, scraping the kitchen floor of the paper & glue, after they tore up the linoleuem (well the 2nd layer!). Bobby was a scraping machine!!











































Then I continued the job on Monday morning and finished the kitchen floor! Amazing considering my finger was pretty painful!















Although at this moment i ALMOST gave in...but i DIDN'T!! :)


















And we think we discovered the first of the reasons they covered up the floors in the first place... a nasty crack runs wall-to-wall in the kitchen - UGH! The terrazzo guy assures us it will be barely visible when polished...even if it is...hey, it provides character! :)

























The finished scraped product looks pretty good...we're confident that the restorers can bring it back. Thank goodness the cabinets will cover the old cabinet marks!








































Phew!! I'm tired ;)
