2014 continued




New house! After all the work we did trying to make the Galactic Ct house as comfortable as possible, we decided to move. Jasper and Polina found us this house and the timing was just right for us to jump ship. We had always intended to move one day to a house with a view and a little larger yard. We loved the house setting, the neighborhood, the view of a creek out our back windows... but we didn’t love this wall separating the dining room and the kitchen area. So Kevin being Kevin, he learned how to take down a load bearing wall and put up a beam! With some help from Jasper and Michael the wall came down, and a beam was put up (they didn’t know each other would be wearing red shirts...so funny). The effect of the open space is amazing!
We had the floor patched in and now you can’t tell there was ever a wall there.




We didn’t move in until about a year after we bought the house because we had other projects to do (the kitchen, painting, etc.) but it was worth the wait!
