Thanks for the encouragement, I think I will probably drywall in that pantry area. They make 1/4″ drywall, the thinner the better, as I don’t want it encroaching on my couter space.

That’s a good idea about the newspapers. I am excited about finding this stuff. I’ve only discovered a few things that were hidden in the house so far. A couple of mirrors, a photograph and now the newspaper. I also had a friend pass on 50 years of census data for the house earlier this week. It’s exciting getting a glimpse into the history of the house. It blows my mind when I think of other people living here for decades.

Don’t worry about me, I’ve been wearing my heavy duty leather work gloves. Your a good mom :)

Thanks!

Roonz! You wanna borrow me your dremel and fill me in on your tiling story sometime? Maybe we might have to meet up for some Saturday afternoon bingo in “the kins”??

That dremel seriously sounds like it might solve all my problems, wish I would’ve wised up sooner.

Yes I did tell that bin who was boss, didn’t I? The newspapers are really great. I keep meaning to look through them all and see what was happening back in 1935, but I’ve only had time to skim through them so far. The kitchen is being nice to me, it’s easy to stay motivated when it looks so good so quickly. I think that’s why I have to work in chunks around the room. I need to have some sort of gratification for the hardwork, and having the pantry cabinets done will give me that glimpse into the future, I can imagine how good the rest of the kitchen will look.
