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?
At this point, we are still using the kitchen. All cabinetry and food items remain though I have been gradually packing things away. We are down to just the basic necessities in the cabinets. At this point, the hall closet is still in tact so we haven't moved any food items yet. The plan is to purchase cheap plastic shelves and move everything into the side porch, including the fridge. The sink will be on the patio.

| 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. |
