We met with our architect and contractor yesterday. It was great to see the ideas fly and the potential reveal itself, as "G" and I listened and watched. In the end, a decision to begin demolition was made and I am thrilled.
Early this morning the crew moved in and out went the walls. I think the before and after photos speak for themselves. Stage 1 includes removing the center divider, removing the kitchen wall, bringing the ceiling and windows back to their original height and installing recessed lighting and fans in the living room and front porch.

Night before, looking into kitchen
Looking toward the kitchen from the front door. Our line of sight will be all the way to the back yard when we are finished.
Living room opened to dining room. We have gained 18 inches of ceiling height and removed more than 6 feet of divider. The room feels so much bigger.
The two windows will be removed and new windows will be installed into these original casings. The pair of matching, double hung windows are now visible from the front door, cool!
We are still living in the house.
