When Dan and I went home to Ashland for Thanksgiving we began an impossible feat- that of Mother's long time dream of knocking out the pantry wall for a bigger living room and replacing the kitchen floor. Dan even brought all of his tools to help Dad get through his worst nightmare of redoing all the electrical during the project. It was pretty exciting at the beginning- John strapped on his tool belt, Matt turned on the demolition tunes, Dad left the house early for work (secretly hoping Mom would change her mind while he was gone) and Mom had that "project creep" look in her eyes. We did it! That great wall came down! The cream linoleum was torn up and the grey carpet demolished! By the middle we were wondering if the trash piles were ever going to stop forming. As I always say- (or at least I have always heard from somewhere)- “It always looks worse before it looks better”. Now the flooring is almost done and it looks fantastic. Congratulations Mom! Your dream finally came true after all these years!
