Kitchen Update #2: Butler's Pantry and Closet Demolition

Ed has been working on destroying the Butler's pantry. He started with this space because he needed to "see behind the wall" so that he'd know what size door to order when we move the access to the half-bath. Hm....

I have to say, he's done a great job with the plastic wrap (what we call visqueen down in Louisiana) so the plaster dust hasn't reached most of the rest of the house. We're still using 100% of the kitchen, so no pain yet on that score. 

Though I'm publishing this in June, most of this work was done in March/April while it was still cool outside so I used the lathe for firewood on the patio. It burns really, really well which is a bit concerning. 

We've been watching Chip and Joanna Gaines' "Fixer Upper" as a family. It's about the only thing we all like. Funny, huh?

NW view, bathroom door on right side, will be
moved to open near the window on the left

West view. The dining room is on the other side of this wall. That window is large so the
cabinets we want to install on this wall will have to be very shallow.
