the time has arrived

After speaking with our contractor today the major part of the renovations will be beginning Wednesday. This is exciting for two reasons: one, I will be home to make sure things move along well and two, we have been waiting FOREVER for this process to begin (we have been in the house for two months now).

As our house is about to change quite a bit I wanted to document what we were beginning with. Below are current pictures of the house. As each stage unfolds, I will certainly photograph and update here for you all to see.
