Beam Me Up, Scotty!

Last night the hubs and I were very excited to see that the temporary walls were replaced by very permanent beams in the ceiling!

View from in the kitchen towards the living/dining area.  New header to the right.

View from screened-in porch door...new header beam continuing the header from the living/dining area.



New recessed beam above the standing wood support.

View from the front door.

It's hard to tell, but you can see the hubs in the basement through the open duct in the kitchen floor.

Close up of the recessed beam and joists in the living area.

 

And, the supporting walls weren't the only things removed by the time we arrived.  Our landscaper friend, Matt, had also removed the last of the massive debris pile we created.  You can finally see our back yard again! 

Yes, seeing mostly dirt and rare patches of grass is way better than what was there before.
