Wide open spaces...

This evening Christy's mom, Christy, and me looked at the details of teh kitchen to figure out how to put it together. Then I finished installing the beam beside the stairs. This was a load bearing wall so I constructed a 2x12 beam. Fun process to do...wouldn't recommend it for the faint at hearts. Here are pictures from beginning to now.

Now to clean up the mess I just made and get ready to start patching holes, redoing drywall joints and all, and hang some sheetrock! Electricians should be in later this week. Should start coming together.
