No turning back

Okay, now it's official. Rebecca and I can no longer tell the contractor we were just kidding about this whole thing. What was once a functional, if less than gorgeous room, has been rendered nonfunctional.

And while still not gorgeous, it's kind of interesting (to us, anyway) to see what underlies the house. This week the boys will be excavating the floor.

That wall at the far end of our garage I mentioned in an earlier post?  

Buh-bye. 

The treacherous interior stairs became more treacherous. And then they were gone altogether.

Let's just say our apartment is starting to look a whole lot better to us. And to Lucy.
