Every day I get a present

We are into week 3 of construction and the progress is good.

Every day when I get home I am pleased to see something new has been done, it's like opening a present every day, you're not sure what you're going to see.

Yesterday the workmen started installing wonderboard on the floors. Wonderboard is a wallboard used in wet areas. It's made up of concrete and mesh and can take a lot of abuse. Unlike the floor the old neighbor put in, this stuff is a nice flat surface for tile.

Below is a recap of everything they have done so far:
01. Remove all the old cabinets
02. Remove the existing Sheetrock
03. Take down the wall between the two rooms
04. Raise the ceiling in the new kitchen area
05. Remove old windows & install new windows
06. Remove the old floor tiles (3-4 layers of it)
07. Run new plumbing & gas
08. Run new electrical & wiring
09. Install hi-hat lighting and switches
10. Insulate the space
11. Sheetrock the walls and ceiling
12. Mud and tape the Sheetrock
13. Install wonderboard on the floors (to prepare for tile)
