Remodeling the house

So back in August Aaron started to remodel our house. Here are the before pics of our lovely kitchen and dining area. (notice how small the kitchen is)

He tore down half a wall in our kitchen where the fridge use to be against and he rewired the lighting to put can lights in the kitchen and dinning area. This is the mess he made. Can you imagine living in this??? Lets just say we ate out way too much.

This is him cutting holes in our ceiling for the can lights. Isn't he cute?

This one shows the lighting done but he still has the patch work to do.

You can see the wall he tore out is all nice and pretty now. The next project was the hardwood floors.
Aaron got about 1/3 of the way done with the floor the weekend before the water damage came. (see "The Roofers!!!!" entry in August)



These are the semi-after pictures. He still has some drywall touch ups and painting to do but doesn't it look soooooo nice? We have a ton more room, our kitchen isn't a single butt kitchen anymore. :-)

He is still not finished with the harwood but i will put them up as soon as its done.
