On Bing Old--8 "D" Day Plus 2

The guys from Dimark have been working hard even though things do not look like anything is being accomplished. All the dry wall has been removed from the walls. After removing the ceiling we now only have the skeletal structure of a kitchen.


Exposure to the attic space revealed a beam spanning the center of the kitchen. Mark informed us the beam could be raised – a minor hitch in the schedule.

Friday found Ed, Robert, and Randy – when he wasn’t working on an electrical condition – on the rock pile better known as the slate floor in our foyer. They pounded and chipped and pried the better part of the day. The mirrors were removed from the wall. We had forgotten about the gold wallpaper that covered all the walls when we bought the house. The place reminded us of a giant Christmas present.

Mark and Robert laid out the position of all the cabinets and the center island on the floor. Things certainly have an odd perspective with the room so bare. Our job for the weekend is to determine the exact position of the island and a focal point picture.

Next week starts the framing of the walls and the raising of the beam.
