I finally got another night to work on the house the other night. Happy to say the first layer of sub-floor is installed. The piece of plywood that I cut to fit around the wall and then under the wall by the stairs fit better than I ever expected.
How about a round of applause for the nice cut!

Two tubes of PL-200 construction adhesive and a million screws later those babies were solid.
New floor already getting filthyThe Glove came over and helped me finish tearing out the kitchen wall, but became timid when I pulled out the circular saw to make the edge where the old will meet the new.
Didn't destroy plumbing
Didn't destroy electrical/kill selfOf course it worked brilliantly and I neither electrocuted myself, ruined my plumbing, or destroyed the circular saw. I call it a success. The wall is ready for it's new addition, just need to cut the new piece down a little and make some holes for plumbing/electric.

If this weekend is at all productive I should have a kitchen sink again early next week! Which is nice because maybe I'll stop drinking so much pop. My fridge right now has eight things of pop, three big bags of cookies (from both my mom and Deb Stigen), some brats, and two bottles of mustard for some reason. I don't even like mustard.

Remember the terrible grease stains on the wall/cabinets/ceiling/EVERYWHERE above where the stove was?

Well I spent about a half-hour scrubbing it with degreaser tonight and this was the best I could do.

I guess I need some stronger stuff.
