When we first looked at this house I thought it was a definate no because of the kitchen. We often have people over for dinner, host guests, have staff meetings in addition to the fact that there are 6 of us. So many times we are gathered around the table. The kitchen in this place was a tiny little galley sort with almost no room for a table that opened into a living room. It was the right idea but just didn't quite meet our needs. But Josh started working on a plan.
If he closed off the former kitchen and turned it into a laundry/storage room, then turned the living room into the kitchen/dining room and then opened up two bedrooms into the living room. All of a sudden the main floor became our living space with all the bedrooms upstairs! So last month while Brandon was here they started work on getting rid of the old wall that stuck out into the kitchen too far and getting rid of the walls dividing up our new living room.
Today the workers are putting in support beams to hold the ceiling up and a couple of days ago Josh and Johnny built the wall between the kitchen and laundry room! Yeah! I am celebrating the way the Lord has gifted them with craftsmen abilities! Josh pointed out that was the first day that we started putting something into that middle floor rather than just taking out! That's a step in the right direction!
This will now be the laundry room. So next week we're looking forward to a visit from the plumber and our pastor turned electrician! The picture below is the kitchen and that wall will hold cabinets and the refrigerator. Right now it looks kind of like a garage! Gotta love concrete houses!
