After day 2: The first surprise!

Our first unexpected event of the renovation occurred once the wall between the kitchen and dining room came down. In this photo you can see the problem spot... a pipe running from the ceiling to the floor:



The likely solution will be to move the pipe towards the wall and somehow conceal it in a box which may jut out slightly, but hopefully not too conspicuosly.

So far we are impressed with our contractors (Carlysle Construction); though we already have experience with them since they did some cosmetic renovations in the apartment upstairs last summer.

Here are our new close friends for the next 3 months, Arpi and Matt:


The cupboards in the master bedroom came out to make way for the new corridor:


Not bad only 2 days!
