A few odds and ends to tie up, but largely finished. Bottom cabinets are getting a grayish navy blue paint job, which will hopefully happen during our vacation next month. The removed wall was load bearing; they managed to tuck the supporting structures into the walls and ceiling without a trace. Pretty impressive.
