We were both sick last weekend so had to miss the planned trip. Rick returned on Thursday, and I arrived on Friday. It's been quite cold for the past couple of weeks, and an even stronger front arrived Friday night. Rick worked on more taping, bedding, and mudding on Thursday and Friday, and we shifted to demolition of the kitchen on Friday afternoon after I arrived.
It went fairly well, and we were able to get the entire kitchen (minus the window area) cleared out. We had a change of plans and went ahead and took out the pantry too. We also took out the door trim into the laundry room and most of the paneling and sheetrock on the east wall of the laundry room in preparation for putting up sheetrock within that doorway area and to allow for easier access to the walls for some re-wiring. Rick started preparing for rewiring in the kitchen and started measuring everything before drawing up plans for the new cabinets. He'll start building those soon in his shop at home as he has time.
We'll be working on electrical for the kitchen and laundry room, cutting out the pass-through between the kitchen and living room, sheet-rocking the kitchen/west living room/east laundry room walls, and doing more mud work over the next few weeks. That'll be the last of the sheet rock, and a lot of it in the kitchen will be behind cabinets and won't need all of the finishing work.
