First things first, right? We moved the table to the kitchen and taped plastic over the doorways to keep the dust out of the rest of the house. I know this won't completely fix the problem, but it should help. We're doing the dining room first and kitchen last, saving the part that's under the cabinets until the end. Hopefully I won't be without a kitchen for more than maybe 2 weeks. (It'll probably be more like a month, but here's for hoping!)
This project is getting off to a pretty slow start. Travis got the wood strip off and then only a chip in the tile before he realized that he was going to need more tools to get the job done. So we trucked off to home depot for some more supplies that included gloves and knee pads! He's hoping to get those 5 rows of the brown tile done today. It is a painfully slow process. (And noisy and just plain painful. I owe him bigtime!) It'll be worth it in the end. We wouldn't be able to do this if we had to hire someone, so please pray for no injuries during this process!

A remodel project is a lot like giving birth, a lot of pain during the process but worth it after you are looking at the finished product! Good luck to both of you.
