Electricity, FINALLY!

After a long pursuit for permits and a long wait for the service company to come out, we finally have temporary electricity. This means things are about to speed up quite a bit.

We started out with the doorway from the Living Room to the Dining Room. Our plan was to expand it, and that's just what we did.

The view after we removed the wall to the right and removed the drywall and pantry.

 

Using the reciprocating saw was GREAT! Not because it's a power tool, but because it felt great to be finally cutting through the walls like butter, as opposed to the usuall hammer and pry bar that I've been using.

 

Wide Open Spaces. MUCH BETTER!

Next post I'll have removed the rest of the pantry still dividing the Dining Room from the Kitchen...
