On a recent Sunday, one of Max’s friends came over to play after church.  When we walked in the back door, the boy was surprised and a bit concerned at the state of the inside of the house.  In a frightened voice he said, “What happened here?”.  We explained that it was OK.  Here are some pictures of what he saw.

The old exterior walls have been removed and the new windows are exposed.  This is the new family room (old master bedroom) looking through the partition wall into the kids bedroom.

No more little ‘airplane’ bathroom.  We have removed the little bathroom and parts of the hallway wall to make the kitchen open into the family room.

The kitchen has a 5-foot garden window.

The back of thee house was removed to open up the area for the laundry room and powder room.  We’ve remove about 20 yards of debris.  We are destroying a house, one dumpster at a time…

Around the same time our family was the beneficiary of a visit by Aunt Jan, Em and Nate.  They spent a Friday night and Saturday at our house.  The kids had a great time playing together.  Also I got to spend some fun train time with Nate.
