Aches and Pains

Wow - what a ton of junk was stored in my kitchen cupboards!  Almost all is gone now - either thrown out, donated or stacked (neatly) in the dining room waiting for a new home.  A few pots & pans remain but will be sorted out tomorrow.   

The family room has to be emptied too - the entertainment unit is almost empty (if we can get it apart it will be FANTASTIC!) and, hopefully, the sofa and chairs will fit neatly into the puzzle that the dining room is becoming.  The TV will be moved to the living room so that we can still watch without having to go to bed - and we'll actually use the living room for a change! 

Monday is the big day - 1st day of tearout - my kitchen will be a total mess (as will the family room) but hopefully it won't take more than a couple of days to tear out cabinets, 1/2 wall and patch all the drywall (and some spots on the ceiling). 

I know it will be great when it's finished but if I had the power I would blink my eyes (or go to sleep) and it would all be done tomorrow!!  Still have a couple of things to buy - SIGH!  In the meantime - Don's been great - moving refridgerators and packing - but both of our backs ache!
