Tearing out the wall

Our Christmas present to eachother this year was tearing out half of the wall between our kitchen and living room. We wanted to give the room a more open look. This first picture is the wall before we started cutting.

The first step was cutting the drywall to see where the wires are before cutting the wood in the living room.

Then we took out the wood in the living room, and the studs.

All done! It turned out better then we ever dreamed it would. We are so happy with it.
