The kitchen too!

Craig's Great Grandpa built this house many years ago, We are the 4th Atteberry Family to be here. It was sold on Contract to a guy about 20 years ago, but things didn't work out and the Atteberry family got the house back and so here we are.

This isn't my first demolition job. But it is the first time I have had to try and live around the mess. Walking around the house outside to get to the other side of the house and fighting dust in every living quarter. We remodeled 4 rooms upstairs a few years back, but we didn't have to accommodate for it, so this is a little bit of a headache.

This has been a true test of mental strength. Work 8 hours at one job come home work my other job doing photography, softball games and work on the kitchen. UGH! And of course the next 3 months are my busiest time with photography. Yes I am thinking something is about to give in my life... I am working those thoughts out in my free time!!! I vow in my next life to be a sweet little house wife who lays out in the sun, reads books, goes shopping and pays someone to paint her toenails!



This is the kitchen before, it isn't bad, but a lot of things didn't work... The guy who lived here before pieced things together and believe me when I say pieced I mean pieced! He definitely was no carpenter!






This just about 5% of the mess we had to deal with.





This wall separates the Dining area from the kitchen, we did take this down!




This is the wall down.





This is from the dining room view looking into the kitchen.



I will keep you posted on the progress, my new cabinets will be here in 2 weeks!!!
