and the walls came tumbling down

as i mentioned on my previous post, we closed on the house last tuesday.  wednesday night we spent a few hours there cleaning it out.  and thursday morning my contractor started tearing down the walls.  he wastes no time. 

remember this kitchen...

 

here it is now.  cabinets haven't left yet, but the wood paneling has.

here is how the front living room looked before...

and how it looks now...

this was the master bedroom

and after tearing down the paneling, you see remnants of the old kitchen.  fyi - the house went through a major remodel in 1971.

and front bedroom after

even though the house is pretty much in shambles right now, i'm getting more and more excited!
