Construction, Destruction,

So the montage below details the construction work we just did on the old hizzouse. The plan was to put in a sliding glass door where a window had been residing for the past maybe 60 years? It would lead to an eventual deck which will someday become a screened porch which will someday have a brand new master suite above it. So J and I dont have good boundaries and we dont know when to say when. I think the pics below speak for themselves but let me tell you a little more..... The sliding glass door was no big deal. Then they decided to go for the deck. Great! When they were putting in the door they noticed hardwoods under the tile in the kitchen so we decided to take up the tile and expose the hardwoods. Not great! It turned out that half the kitchen had beautiful old maple floors, and the other half used to be that screened porch I am wanting. So now our kitchen has half hardwoods, half porch boards and half 1940s tile. As we were lamenting this over the dregs of the keg of Oberon, my beloved father in law said, oh hell, lets just see what is in the ceiling ( there is this false beam in the ceiling....). So next thing I know, we are all knocking into it with hammers and boop- we learn that there is nothing in there. It was just put there to hide the fact that when they converted the porch into the rest of the kitchen, the ceiling heights didnt match.

So the bottom line is....no boundaries, dont know when to say when, now have to redrywall the ceiling and get new floors in the kitchen which if I had to bet my bippy, I would say will lead to new cabinets, new appliances.....
