William and I are in week five of our kitchen re-modeling project. Everyone keeps asking how our project is going. Well, here's some photos to show you. 

We HAVE made progress. It's just very slow. I didn't think it would take so long to do what we've done so far, but every day we at least do something! Since my last post we've taken out a floor (old pantry and back porch area), taken down a pantry wall and ceiling, hung 12 canned lights, and opened up an entry way. We have another dumpster outside right now which is 2/3 full. 

We've hired an electrician and he's worked quite a lot for us. He's taking out all the old wiring. Our home is 105 years old, so whenever we start into a project, we usually open a can of worms. The wiring is one of the can of worms. The floor joists are coming out tomorrow and a new floor is going in. 

I have no electricity in some of our rooms still, but that hasn't been a big challenge. The biggest challenge has been not having a kitchen sink. Hopefully, we can start dry walling by next week!

I'm learning patience, tolerance, and will really appreciate our new kitchen!
