We will be working to renovate the second half of the interior of the original house; hoping to have a big chunk of it done before the Christmas company comes! Bill works well with a deadline. First on the list is removing this closet to expand the dining room.

As of tonight, most of the wall is gone.........
and it sure looks better all cleaned up! The little bit of wall left will be finished tomorrow morning. What a difference a mere 24 square feet can make to a room!
