We are on our way to having a beautiful great room! Bob helped Ross knock out the two walls which separated the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The space already looks so much larger and open. I love it! We've also discovered hard wood under multiple layers of laminate in the kitchen. We've started pulling down the layers of border in the bedrooms and bathrooms so that we can hopefully start painting soon. We will post some pictures soon so everyone can see the progress of our "little" project! Outside, I am planning to have a little herb garden in the space outside of the kitchen and I purchased a planter that looks just like a truck for my mint!
