The Kitchen Addition Begins!

Yesterday our big kitchen addition and remodel began in earnest! Plans done, permits obtained and mounted by the driveway...and yesterday, the natural gas was shut off and relocated (read: BIG back hoe, BIG hole!). Water was shut off next. We have long anticipated the day we would no longer have water or heat, the beginning of a 4-6 week "dry" spell at Little Bird Farm!

This morning at 7:30, the demolition of the old driveway and hot water shed began. The demo/concrete men came early - 5 of them - and they began making some serious noise and a HUGE mess, which they promptly loaded up and carted off. AMAZING what 5 guys, a back hoe and a dump truck can do in 4 hours!

Right now, two of the demo men are taking down the walls. We weren't quite anticipating this so early in the game, but in the interest of getting this show on the road - why not now? Blue tarps will be our walls! For how long??????? Good question!!!!

I will post a few pictures as soon as I can. Thanks very much for the very kind wishes coming our way! And for the generous & gracious offers of hot showers and washing machines! THAT is friendship!!
