It's 7:30 in the morning of day two. Yesterday went well with only a few surprises. As I said before, I cleared out the rooms adjacent to the kitchen to help keep dust and debris under control. Brent, the contractor, said "Oh, you didn't have to do that."
Well, sometime yesterday afternoon, while they were removing the soffit above the refrigerator (see hole above the back door), an enormous amount of blown in insulation came pouring down and blowing everywhere. In addition, somewhere around this time they broke the water line to the fridge. I came home around 3:30 to find wet insulation on the floor and dust everywhere.
Kudos to these guys, because by the end of the day they had the place cleaned up and in good order. And the space has been readied for the electrician to come in and move wires out of the way so they can build the bulkhead and remove the wall.
The only other update from yesterday is that I picked out our new sink faucet. It's really cool looking!
Other than that, I'm experiencing the first phase of feeling depressed. This always happens for me during a reconstruction job. The thrill of the design, the thrill of whats-about-to-happen is over and the fact that my house is being torn up and I'm now committed to spending a lot of money is driving my mood right down the drain. Luckily I know from past experience that my mood will improve, just as the condition of my house will improve.
