It has been a noisy day; pounding, thudding, crackling, jet vac-ing, sweeping, and "Holy smokes, did you see that?!?!" The kitchen dimmer switch arced and blew sparks. Once the wall was dismantled, a previous owner had done some not so safe electrical wiring with tape, not nuts. Did I mention snoring? Chessie has managed to sleep through a good part of it, close by my side.

The dawg is still wondering where she is supposed to eat, drink and go out from.
Dust and dirt everywhere.
The sounds of the outdoors so close- as doors are left open to take debris in and out of. Thankfully the weather is still nice, no animals looking for a warm home yet... I hope! Cool enough that the bugs aren't a plenty, except spiders and they find their way in no matter what.
And the cutest little dumpster arrived today! Tarik, the lead demo guy, had plywood ready to protect the driveway. He and the driver were a great team lowering into place. After going through so much 'stuff' getting ready for this leg of the house transformation, I am tempted to fill it with non-construction cast-offs!

It has been a good day of progress, and not any alarming surprises, which is always a good thing. And best of all...
the chandelier is gone!
