I approach a remodel project similar to the way you’d dig a hole. What I mean is, as you look at the work ahead, you begin to size yourself up against the conditions. Knowing that everything you demolish must be rebuilt. Similarly, digging is the process of forcing your shovel into the soil and then removing the load. The ground hardness determines how deep I can get into the job. And then comes all these personal skills that will define the struggles. Strength, which can be aided with knowledge of the tool and how to best use leverage. But how do you know you’re done digging a hole? When you have no dirt left in it.

Every surface in this project has been addressed in one way or another. Not only has each surfaces been renewed but structure has been manipulated and program has been altered.
