We'll start with the kitchen, drywall has been hung with the help of some friends and the missionaries from the church. (Here I am working with Elder White)
Chris did the mud and tape, so it is almost ready to be painted.
Space is at a premium in this small kitchen so we created a small storage space above the pantry. When we took down the lath and plaster, there was a vacant cavity so we decided that it would be a great storage area. However, we will need a ladder to reach it.
These are not eyes in the wall. The description of the house and its construction that was made with the blueprints talks about "speaking tubes" or a historic intercom system in my words. We found these speaking tubes in the kitchen and decided to preserve them. However, we do not have the porcelain mouthpieces that were attached to them. (We have found similar tubes in the servant's room and in the upstair's bathroom.)

that would be a fun thing to hunt for..how many "mouth-piece" things would you need?
How exciting to have the kitchen on its way!! There's nothing like being able to have a workable kitchen space but this one is going to be so BEAUTIFUL :)
how fun to find your historic intercom system! I don't even know what to look for as a porcelain mouthpiece. have a pic or something and maybe we can all start looking for you...
I'm looking for more interior speaking tube whistles (I have one that doesn't work right) and any exterior ones. It might be just a plain porcelain mouthpiece.
