The Devolution of the Kitchen

Dad drove down from New York with his truck full of tools, which he laid out in a great wall across the middle of the living room.



Then he set to work demolishing the kitchen:


Until the last picture, there are three 2x4's nailed together in the wall cavity about three inches to the right of the PVC pipe. There was some back and forth about whether or not they were necessary and load bearing. Throwing caution to the wind, Dad cut them down and the house is still standing. For now.
