The men put the first of two I-beams in (no it's not like a Sun-beam ;) hee hee) to span the dining area.
Here they are just after lifting it up onto the jacks and supports to be ready to set later.
Drilling holes into the metal, the picture doesn't show the difficulty of the actual task. In fact it all looks relatively simple but it was sweaty, red face inducing, muscle tiring work.
The beam is bolted in, anchored from underneath, the other men went home and now it's our job to get the rest of the existing wall out.
All cleaned up! That is temporary flooring in the wall space and we will finish the ceiling and take the last doorway out when we can do the other side.
Yeah! The last major hurdle finished before the cabinets can be started.

How exciting! Are you getting a whole new kitchen??--new cabinets and everything? Awesome!!!
Wow, I want to come right now and see it! You're giving me courage and frightening me at the same time to do a couple remodel projects I have in mind. Also thanks for the extra picture showing your pantry. You are going to love it.
Hugs to you all from,
Mom Pryor
