Britton completed the lights and electrical just before Thanksgiving, and Mark Shaw came out Friday evening to help him actually hook them up. They look great!

Then over the Thanksgiving weekend we started the work on removing the once-exterior wall that devided the exhisting house from the addition. There it is lying on the floor of the addition! Boy does it open up the kitchen.
In the words of Britton, "Now we're committed!"
The pictures, once again, didn't load in order despite my efforts. ;) Here is the "before" picture of the wall, as we started stripping it down to the bones. We'll also be tearing down the suspended, false ceiling in the kitchen and replacing the lights with recessed lighting there as well...though that may have to wait for another week.

Lastly, here is a picture of the nearly finished ceiling transition between the addition and the kitchen. It looks great! Britton spent a great deal of time and effort trying to get the framing for this section to work and also be level...hard to do when working in a confined space and matching a level wall/ceiling to a not-so-level one. Kudos to Britt!
