Progress.....


The old kitchen was charming, but old, decrepit and worn out.

The drawers were the old style--wood sliding on wood--and every time I pulled one out, I was making sawdust in the bottom of the cabinet or into the drawer beneath.
















When they were taken out and the wall boards removed, we found there was no insulation whatsoever between the interior walls and the shiplap or wooden walls behind the studs.

The roof was the same, except there had been a flat ceiling before and a modicum of insulation blown in there.

Above all that, a beautiful ceiling had been hiding.

I wish we could leave it like this, but insulation is needed. So the ceiling will be brought to code by adding more rafters and laying in batts of insulation.

Instead of a flat, low ceiling, we now have a lofty, airy one! Yea
