Almost all the demo is done in the house now. The part of the wall that is coming down will be the last thing. Ed (our contractor) said they will have to use jacks to support the ceiling while they build the new header. Our pocket door in the hallway was repaired . It has been years since you could use this door. We have had a couple of surprises. One was we didn't think about the floor under the bookcase not being the same as the living room. The flooring has been discontinued. We found the planks that would match but they are a little thinner, not beveled and the locking system is different. One option was to move the wall a little further but we didn't like that. Settled on bring the tile around the bar from the kitchen and continue to the door with tile in the swing area of the door.Also we were going to put a Lazy Susan cabinet in the corner of the kitchen but after measuring the layout we found there is not enough room with the dishwasher and sink on that part of the wall. Well the dishwasher is more important. The water was off all day and night as the plumbing was rearranged in the kitchen. I turned it back on this morning and no leaks.They will have to turn the water off again sometime next week when they move the hot water heater. It is nice that we have the trailer to stay in while things are going on.No comforts of living are being missed.
