More destruction

Someday, hopefully soon, I'll be able to post pictures of a completely finished house, but until then here are photos of the work in progress.  In the living room over the fireplace the original owner had put up more of the wood cladding, and that came down today.

Before:

 and after!

Now Rick will "mud" the damage to the drywall and I'll sand it after it dries.

The original owner also put decorative beams in the dining room, which seems silly to me because they make a small room look even smaller.  So those came out today too.

Before 

and half way thru after!
