The house is about 1800 sq ft and sits on about 2 1/2 acres. Lots of trees and space.
Before we began the work. 
This is the room we had our stuff stored in!!
Lots of stuff!!
The lovely pink carpet that we removed.
The lovely linoleum, which is still there, for now!
The kitchen peninsula that we tore out.
A crazy built in "desk" that we tore out.
The dining area.
Removal of the wall!
The wall and peninsula are gone!!
Here is where that "desk" was. We found this lovely little mouse nest under neath!
Joshua and Aunt Peggy making roads in the "popcorn" rubble.
Prepping to paint.
Scraping the ceiling.
Carpet removal with benefit of official supervisor!
The next big job is painting the kitchen cabinets which have this heinous layer of crud on them so just scraping them clean is quite a hefty task.
Not sure if the photo really does it justice, but this is the goopy stuff coming off the cabinet doors!
We will post "after" photos a bit later, after the mess is more cleaned up!!

Can't wait to see the after photos. How exciting, but also a lot of work. :)
Mom said you guys had been busy..and you sure have!!
I know the place will look great when you finally have it all settled.
Oh my word. Did you guys buy this house or is it one of those "freebies while you're in the states"?
I don't know if I've ever seen so much paneling! Oh my. You guys are doing an amazing job. Can't wait to see the after photos.
Hey - we will be in the US Sept-Jan. My family is in AR so I imagine we'll be traveling around quite a bit. I hope we can get together.
Hey, the house looks great. I came across the site for your blog on my old computer and am glad to get caught up.
I hope we can get together this summer maybe. I would love to see you guys.
