House project - "during renovation"

OK. So there's been quite a bit of work done. All the carpet, pad, and tack strip has been removed. All of the particle board underlayment has been taken out. The "hardwood" in the kitchen dinette and foyer has been removed. In the above picture you can see the base cabinets have been removed as well.

Here, you can see the railing around the stair well has been taken out.

Another shot of the kitchen and dinette.






Here we've removed an old chimney chase. There is an old wood fireplace in the basement that must have been used to heat the house at some point. It is no longer needed so we made the closet full size again.





Dumpster in the garage. We were able to get it in the garage which was nice. We didn't want the neighbors filling it up with junk. We've got enough of our own stuff to fill it. Also, I can't thank Al, Melanie's dad, for all of his hard work and help thus far. It's great to have him around with all of his knowledge about this sort of stuff. I wouldn't have half of this done if it wasn't for him.
