Another Brick in The Wall

Ok, ok - it's the only 'wall' title I could think of right now.
This weekend John got so mad he put a hole in the wall. Well...not really. He wasn't angry at all - this is a project we have been meaning to do for a long time. There was a solid wall separating our kitchen and living room on the main floor. We always thought it would be nice to have either a low wall there or a type of 'peek-a-boo' window. So yesterday John sketched an outline on the wall and voila! Suddenly it was gone! (Ok, maybe not that quick, but it really didn't take him too long.)

There was a slight hiccup in the project...wires. We weren't expecting to find any, so of course they were there. There's two outlets near the floor and those wires run straight up and over. So John will have to get some more wire and re-run them around our new window. Eventually we'll re-paint next spring and be officially done...with that project anyway.

I hadn't realized the wall didn't go all the way up to the ceiling.
Kind of opens up the rooms - you can see from one end to the other - kind of like home - both your homes.
