And the Walls Come A-Tumblin' Down

We are finally getting to knock stuff down in our own apartment! We're not knocking down as much, because we are preparing to move in and then we'll redo the place. (That may not seem like a logical order in which to do things, but as with so much in this house, logic gives way to necessity.)

I got to tear down this completely weird and unnecessary wall that was bisecting the kitchen.





First I stripped off the tile and sheetrock, whereupon I discovered, to my surprise, that the wall had been constructed with an actual frame, studs and everything. Shocking.

It's actually much easier to take something apart when it's been constructed more or less competently.





When we got the whole thing down, we found that our kitchen is HUGE. Which makes you wonder why anyone would ... No, we've already determined, we cannot ask that question in this house, for that way madness lies.
