Tonight we are celebrating w/ some ice cream that we are done w/ the dirty work for now (when we redo the floors, I'm sure we'll get a little dirty). I am so relieved to be able to have someone else now cover the studs w/ 1/2" sheetrock. I finished foamboarding and all the prep work today, so now we are hoping this week that the promise the drywall guy made comes true: that we can prime the walls on Friday! We'll see...

I did forgo installing a pot filler faucet over the stove - would have been cool and handy, but not really all that necessary and wow, they are expensive faucets.

These pictures are 2 of 135 I took over the last few days as a way to catalog the wall cavities and stud locations (in addition to meticulous measuring and recording of that). A bit overboard, but if we want to put anything on the walls, I don't want to guess if the screw/nail will hit wood (and not wires). For example, we are going to support the peninsula countertop (5' x 4 1/2') w/ a rail along the wall and thankfully, there is a big header that will be great for that (esp if we go w/ a quartz surface ;) ).

I'll leave two more pictures here - one of a foam-face and the other of the Owyn and Eva on a day when they played very sweetly together.
