Wasn't there a wall there before?

I made a comment to Todd that I thought I would like some cabinets down in the kitchen that were over the center island... later that night... he was emptying them out to remove them! We had talked previously about taking the wall between to the playroom and kitchen down to a half wall, so I could see the daycare kids when in the kitchen... and then I mentioned while we were taking down the cabinets that I thought it would look nice if the wall was completely gone. He called me the next Saturday while I was in Rockford and said, "I have to run to town to buy a new tv because I have 3 holes in your playroom wall." I responded... "You were supposed to be at home relaxing today." I got home and he had the playroom wall all wired for a flat screen... and advised me that on Sunday (the next day) that we were going to take down the wall. I looked at him and asked who was going to help with it... and he said just us. Cole and I started tearing off the trim the next morning... and Todd started ripping the drywall off the wall... within hours the wall was gone... and we were onto another dilemna... how do you get the support beam in place before the ceiling caves in? I am not real experienced on hoisting big, heavy wood beams into place so the ceiling will not cave in... well we did it and have a little more cosmetic work to complete, but I love it! The daycare kids still stay in the playroom... we now have bar stools at the counter so we can eat in the kitchen... and the house seems almost brand new! I can't believe the change in just removing 1 wall!
