There is progress!
The rough-in electrical inspection is complete. Bob has started working on the plumbing. He also has most of the insulation in place. Next comes some sheet rock work.
Some of the old kitchen cabinets are down and soon we will be ready to start removing the old wall. Then the mess really begins. So far we have been able to keep most of the dirty work separate from the working kitchen. I have picked out and purchased the counter top I want.
