If you are a follower of our Instagram, you may have seen a recent picture of the state of our kitchen. Our contractor finished demolishing the kitchen, and as part of it, we decided to move the two beams into the ceiling, allowing for the light from the skylight to actually throw light into the kitchen. We had a structural engineer come out to do load testing and the like, and finally, everything was put into place this week. The nearest beam was moved over about 2 inches to allow for a proper amount of space between the electrical lines (which provide most of the power for the house) and the beam. Also note that there is very little insulation in the kitchen, and there was no firewall. Both of those issues will be addressed before new drywall and cabinets are installed. But look at the skylight! There is so much more light in this kitchen now. It will look great, I'm sure of it.
