Remodel--Kitchen Dining

This is the small dining area off the kitchen before we'd done a thing to it. Look very closely at the window to the left--that's Bella. Adding all these remodel photos reminds me over and over what a presence she was in our lives. I continue to miss her terribly. Remember: click on pic to see larger.

Anyhows....the parquet flooring was a real b--ch!! As stated before, really ALL of us worked on removing it. And ALL of us got sick as hell of it! It was glued securely--wasn't meant to ever come up!

Here's Otis (is that his real name or just what Jug called him?) working on the flooring.

And here's me, Olivia and Aaron posing the night we FINALLY finished removing the flooring!! Man, were we ever tickled!

This was taken standing in the living room. The area to the upper right is the small dining area after the sliding glass door had been removed but before the sheet rock had been installed. The floor of the living room has been raised up to the level of the rest of the house. The sliding glass doors to the left--there are actually three of them, we did not remove.

Taken standing in the kitchen, view of the small dining area after the sheetrock had been installed closing the sliding glass door hole. After pics in another blog. Blogger only allows a maximum of five photos per blog! Scheech!!
