We are all moved in...whew! Thanks to all our friends and family who helped us move. You were real troopers and we couldn't have done it without you! We were able to get most everything into two U-haul trucks and got it all unloaded at the house on Friday in 2.5 hours. Not bad at all! We even got our king-size bed up the stairs...which was not a small feat (as the five guys it took to get it there can attest to).
The small hurdle...the mammoth leather couch. No matter how the guys twisted, turned, pulled, and pushed, that sucker would not go in the door.
The budget did not include buying a new couch, so drastic measures were needed. In other words...the walls had to go! Saturday was spent in a battle with a few entry walls. Here is the before picture...
And here is the demo...
After an afternoon of work, the walls (and all the dust and debris) are gone! Now...what do we do with the gaping holes in the wall and floor? We are still a bit torn with whether we'll restore the cove ceilings or rip everything down to install a ceiling fan and can lights. Decisions, decisions....more to come!
Good news! We now have a couch to sit on in the living room. Sorry to all the Craig's Listers who would have liked to see that baby go up for sale!
