Ready for Demo

It's back to living in a construction zone again!  After a few months of respite as we worked outdoors, our project is moving back inside and with it, all the dust, crowding, and chaos of living in a workspace.  In order to get ready, we spent the weekend clearing out the first floor and relocating everything either to the first floor addition (our makeshift living room is now right next to the kitchen - it's like living in a studio apartment...with dust) or upstairs to the second floor.  The kitties fall in the latter category and we moved their bedroom (because yes, they have their own bedroom) up to the second floor.  Mouse handled the relocation decently but Ollie spent most of the day hiding in a makeshift box, staring balefully at us, and I don't think he's going to be any more pleased when we start knocking down walls and ceilings this coming week.  In the meantime, we've got a bunch of "before" pictures to share now - check back on Thursday night or Friday for the "after" pictures.  Brian is taking a couple of days off work and has some helpers coming in so there's a good chance we'll be wall-free by Friday.  And then the real fun begins as we start putting it all back together again!
