A temporary wall was put in place March, 2016. It remained as our "exterior" wall for over a year. A temporary door was added around April 2017 when the sub floor was in place. Prior to having this exit, we regularly walked the circumference of the house to use the powder room, which as been our "kitchen sink" for many months.
On June 5th, the wall came down.
For the first time, we are able to look from the front to the back. The dry wall process required that plastic sheeting be hung to keep the dust to a minimum.
The framing for the opening has been put in place and dry walled.

| Mudding has been finished in the Dining room and kitchen. Lights, windows and walls. |
The square hole in the wall is where our "hidden" linen cabinet will be. One of our neighbors who used to teach construction dropped by and looked over our project. He said "Seems like you have everything". Then, I said, "Except a linen cabinet, I just can't find a place to fit one in." He said, "Well, I see a place". And despite the fact that he had not seen the full plans, he suggested we open up the bedroom wall and use the 6 inches in the wall added to the 21-inches in the dining room built-in and create a linen cabinet that has access from the bedroom side and is a false front on the dining room side. Ingenious!!
We measured it out and it will be perfect. Below the linen cabinet is another "hidden" cabinet with a false front, wait ans see how that turns out.
