Demolition Day!

If you've never been to see our house in person and you've been reading our blog, you may have wondered: "Why are there no pictures of the kitchen?". Well, lets just say the kitchen wasn't exactly one of the house's finest selling points.

In September we started planning, re-planning, and re-re-planning our kitchen renovation. A few weeks ago, Ariella cooked up a month's worth of food to store in our basement fridge.



Yesterday, we moved all the pots, pans and plates to the basement, took down our curtains, put a tarp over the sofa, and set up house entirely on our 2nd floor. And today (after nearly 10 months of living without a dishwasher) our contractor finally started demolition.

After one day, what was once an ugly kitchen is now... well... a really ugly kitchen. But by March, it'll be our dream kitchen. Here are some photos from day one.
