Before and In Progress

As I get impatient to be finished already, it's a good opportunity to stop and think about just how far we've come in the last five months! 

It's amazing how I think I'm taking pictures from the same spot, but when Igo back and try to actually make a coherent series, it turns out it's not even in the same ballpark!  You'll have to pretend you're stepping from side to side on these.

Here's a before photo of the kitchen area - you can see the former stage beyond. 



Next, an intermediate step from late summer. The wall to the stage was opened up, and the old propane heater removed. The columns that are to remain have been moved further apart, and the ones in the middle of the room were removed, along with that nice ceiling.

And the most recent view with windows in and cabinets starting to be installed.    Even this is outdated - all that trim on the floor in the foreground is already mostly up, the doors are primed, and the island cabinets are installed.
