Well, we have moved again and it is into another fixer upper. One of our first projects was to take out this dividing wall between the kitchen and the living area. We are in a small town, and have discovered that this wall wasn't originally there. One of the previous owners added it in. I'm not sure why, it really closed up the space. So the day that we signed on the dotted line, we smashed out the wall. Cousins were even there to help us, and boy did we make a gigantic mess. We took out the wall around the stairwell, the dividing wall, and also the fireplace.

This is the dining area, notice the carpet. That came right out as well! The half wall is for the stairway, and we ripped that out as well.
Goodbye fireplace
And awkward wall.
Demo started and I started to second guess my decision. It makes a huge mes and its not that fun to clean up.
We are in the middle of this massive project, stay tuned for updates!
