And John says, “If worse comes to worse…. I need to stop saying that.”

Kitchen Demolition- ie take everything out of the kitchen that you are not going to keep.

We removed the base cabinets and the back splash and tore through layer after layer of the ceiling.  

Please note that the answer to fixing things in a house is not adding a new layer to cover up the problem.  

But when we got to the ceiling that will be over the triangle we had utter disappointment, improper insulation. 

So then the upper cabinets got removed, I was looking for an excuse to get all new ones anyways.

we also found a hole in the chimney... and plug it with a t-shirt, which adds to the creepy factor.
