Progress amidst the mess!

So, Saturday Jamie, my Dad, my BIL, David and a good family friend all worked for about 12 hours removing wall-paper, wood-paneling, plasticy tile stuff that was on the walls - under the paneling, an insane amount of very hard to remove glue, carpet and linoleum.  They also primed the walls and removed cabinet doors and primed those.  On Sunday Jamie and my Dad got the new floor installed and then Jamie textured the walls.  The glue had damaged the drywall so it was either re-drywall or go with a textured look.  We chose to texture.  I am so thankful for all the hard work, long hours and sacrificing of a relaxing weekend that these men gave to help get our kitchen reno a good start!  Jamie has a 3-day weekend coming up this weekend, so Lord-willing we can get most of it finished then.

 This is the main dining room corner as it has been for some time.

 This of course was mid-work this past Saturday.

 And, this is what the same corner looks like today!

 This is the main kitchen view as we've been living with it.

 Mid-work on Saturday...

 As it is now.

 The lovely, squishy, who knows how dirty carpet is now...  

GONE!

And... my living room still looks like this:
