Half wall... be gone!

When we moved in our new house, we kept wondering what the builders (KB) had thought when they put in a monstruous half wall between the dining room and living room. Too tall to put a TV in it, too cumbersome to be a bar, too bizarre to be anything useful.

It had a death wish written all upon itself.

Craig and Tyler came with tool power and between Tim and them, they had the wall down faster than it could cry out for help. It was so amazingly overbuilt, you could have had the whole house on top of that!

As both Craig and Tyler are electricians, they got the wires all figured out and the rooms felt lighter almost immediately! So much better! I've been playing around with the drywall, knowing I'll mess up a few times before it turns out okay but hey, that's what learning is all about.

A few days later, my father in law came in, saw the bones of the half wall in our hauling pile and gave us the most feasible answer to the wall's intent... an aquarium!

I mean... still, who would have built a house model with an aquarium wall in it? Bizarre, if you ask me! Note that our house doesn't have any of the optional features of the model, so it wasn't an update, just a random wall included with the model. And, every house we visited with this model, independently on how clean and organized it was, had clutter on top of this half wall... I don't need a clutter wall, I already have enough clutter as it is!

Half wall... be gone!
