The temporary door into the kitchen has been removed and the opening boarded up until the window can be installed.
The door (now permanent) has been moved to it's ultimate location and now leads into what will be the back hall.
The grading of the garage floor and the crawl space beneath the family room have been completed. The wall to the left is the one that will be moved (to the left) five feet.
This view looks down at the new footing that's been dug for the wall that will be moved.  Actually, we're keeping the wall (costs more to de- molish) and putting up a new one atop that footing.
We had dinner with Joe and Cathleen Blumberg on Thursday night and showed them the plans.  Joe didn't like the layout for the 1/2 bath, closet, hall and laundry room so he drew up the "right" way to do this on a Rio Bravo cocktail napkin.  Note the creative spelling of the word "counter".

And y'know what?  We decided that he was right!  (Hey! could happen...)  Another phone call to Vince and well, with minor tuning) it's done.  This change (because of the timing) won't cost anything to implement.  Whew!
