The project
The house
A 1942 house in Ballard with a closed kitchen and a dining room nobody used.
The plan
Take out the wall between them, add a beam, and move the sink to the window.
The build
We set the beam in the first week, rewired the kitchen and replaced the galvanized pipe we found in the wall.
The result
One room for cooking and eating, with a walnut island and storage up to the ceiling.
They told us about the old pipe the day they found it, with a price, before doing anything.
