One year ago last weekend.

Well, it was just about a year ago some very good friends of ours came to visit and helped us revamp our kitchen/dining room and bathroom. It was Hodaka Days here in Athena and Mark and Karen helped us do renovations!

The start of the Hopkins Hole in the Wall.
Mark, Steve, and a smaller Jon looking to see if it is a load bearing wall. Karen is seen here unloading it. As usual, she was taking care of business!
And here is the first part of the Hopkins Hole in the Wall.
Today, it looks like this (OK, it is pretty untidy and the color is off, but the idea is there!):
The view opens up into all three rooms and the colors complement each other, too. Mark's Custom Painting (Mark) helped with that later in the year, too.
The bathroom was pretty scary, but it got much better!

It was a mess and Mark and Steve were wonderful!
Today, it is more like this:

Still pretty smallish, but it has a much taller ceiling and more space all around.
Thank you Mark and we will miss you forever, Karen. And Karen, we'll see you on the other side.
