Going through withdrawal

We have been going through some construction that has made it very difficult to use my computer. It will be so worth it though. We live in a small 1920's colonial that is not great for a family in the 21rst century. Our kitchen is very small and when we added the sliding glass door to a deck, it made our eating nook very cramped. Once Little Bit is out of his high chair, we won't be able to eat in the kitchen as a family. That might be ok except that we keep the dining table folded up and pushed to the side to make room for the mini trampoline and Little Bit's pulling up toys.

Anyway, I don't have any before pics handy, but here are some during pics:

Looking in through the sliding glass door

The T in the floor used to be a wall. There used to be a small broom closet in front of the lathe beside the slider.

The beam that we had to put in because the wall we removed was load bearing.
Looking from the Bathroom. Dining room door is on the left.
Plastic covers the butler's pantry cabinets.

I'm very hopeful that this will expand the floor space of our kitchen enough that we can make do with this house for at least a few more years if not longer.
