Progress!

I am standing in the kitchen and looking out towards the dining room. Josh's crew from Old Dominion Trim Specialists started the framing work this past week. There will be another arch in the doorway just behind where Bill is standing. It looks like there used to be a transom above thata old doorway there. It must have been filled in a very long time ago because it was filled in with lath and plaster. That toilet there on the left is waiting to be thrown away. There will be a built-in desk and file area on the left and a powder room on the right.

I hadn't realized until I took this picture just how much more open the kitchen would feel with this wider taller doorway. The old and smaller doorways really make for an Alice-In-Wonderland effect.

That big piece of wood to Bill's right is holding up the ceiling until they frame in the wall for the powder room. I will surely have more to show at the end of next week.
