Flip in Utah

After work today, a couple of my friends and I headed over to “that 70’s house” to do a little demo. Well, scratch that. We actually couldn’t wait, and started ripping up carpet at lunch. (The carpet was pretty bad.)

Then after work we ran to Home Depot and bought a few tools and then hit the kitchen next. That’s me with the mask, and my friend Abraham in the red shirt. My friend Jon was also there working on gutting the bathrooms.

To open up the floor plan, I want to take out a good portion of the wall between the dining area (a SMALL area) and the living area. And so I was curious to see how it looked. I had fun taking out a little furry. (No, that’s not snow around the photo… for some reason my camera adds white dots when it’s dusty - go figure)

And then after “quitting” for the night and doing a Wendy’s run, Abraham thought he’d try and see how hard it was to demo the fireplace. Next thing you know, we’re done.

I’m leaving the hearthstone, but replacing the asymmetrical rock fireplace concoction with a tradition mantle. A little less dated. Below the hearth will be covered up to match with the wall color and I hope to repurpose the awesome white rocks in the yard.
