Slowly but Surely

Well, here we are, almost one week since the last entry and we have finally finished removing all of the staples from the floor of what is to be our kitchen. Now don't think it is the only thing we have managed to accomplish, but it was perhaps the most tedious to date. I honestly don't think that it would exageration to say that we removed somewhere around 500 staples by hand (Seth did most of the work, but I helped). Now our new tile floor will lay flat and beautifully; worth the work.

Unfortunately the pink hammer was lost in all the action. First went the second half of the claw (or the "rabbit ears" as I call them). While hammering, I felt something hit my leg, I looked down to see it laying on the floor in front of me. Seth and I laughed together. He offered me the new hammer, but I refused arguing that this one still hammered, "unles the head falls off" I said. Five minutes later, I swung the hammer forward and the next thing I know, the head goes flying accross the room. I couldn't believe I called it. Despite all of the setbacks, The "little pink hammer that could" got me through until the job was done.

Last night while I finished up the staples, Seth began to tear down the wall next to the office door. Our idea is to move the door to the corner which will give us more wall space for cabinets and an oven. This will give us more overall space and won't really change the office layout too much. Looks like it might take a couple of days and will require some tool purchasing (which Seth is a little too happy about) but it will make a huge difference.

Once that is done, we will be able to move from demolition (Seth's favorite part) to putting things back together (my favorite part). First we'll have to patch the walls and put the frame back up around the back door. Then we get to order cabinets and buy a fridge, then... well, you know the drill. It should be all up hill from here. (Keep your fingers crossed).
