Its a good thing I didn't put up that tree!

These bags of straw are all that is left of the insulation that is keeping the kitchen warm. The rest of the wood chips were removed. The upper two feet of the exterior walls were insulated by empty bags of plaster the old owner used to build the walls. In some areas, that was all that attempting to keep the cold out - or nothing at all.

Here is the hubby hard at work. The walls and ceiling were a layer of drywall with a thick coat of plaster over top. At least there wasn't any plaster and lath.

This was me trapped in the basement by the temporary platform Mr. Hunter built to put his latter on to continue demoing the ceiling and removal of the old light fixture.

I had to squeeze myself out of this hole - it sucked. Dumb dog tried to lick my face.

Here I am standing on the platform.

Here is Mr. Hunter coming up from the basement.

Great decorating - love what you've done with the place! Wow I wouldn't change a thing.. ... ... that better be what the end results are. HA HA HA

The kitchen went from gutted to worse. Good think I didn't put up that tree huh?

Cheers,

Carolyn
