A whole week has past and the crew has been in full force. Sunday night was our last night of dinner service. Once the last guest had left, we began to clear out the dining room. Those booths were a lot heavier than I thought. Good thing we had lots of help that night!

I had heard there was an old radiator around the edge of the dining room, which had been covered up by the wood wainscoating years ago. Well, guess there's only one way to see it now...

With anticipation and excitement for the next day of demolition, we left to get a good night sleep. Brad and his construction crew were coming at 4am to begin! I arrived around 8am and was surprised to see how much they had accomplished in such a short time. Windows are in!

It was fun to see all the old wallpaper from years past as well as the original hardwood floor. Unfortunately, not in good shape.(And yes, the red one on the right is velvet!)

 Brad had a little trouble with pulling up all that tile. Not any easy task...

Well....stay tuned. Next entry: Stone wall!
