Total demolition of the back hallway

At this point, Zach and I have almost completely demolished the hallway on the back of the house that connects the kitchen/office to the bathrooms/utility room/sewing room. All of the drywall, floor and ceiling molding is gone and now we are left with removing some old wooden beams that need to be replaced. Once we get new beams up, then we can redo the ceiling and walls with new drywall, insulation, paint, and molding. We are also going to put in more lighting so it can no longer be called the "cave" and redo some of the electrical outlets and switches. Then we can pull up the awful black & white checkerboard linoleum (I just don't like it!) and put down some old-fashioned stained hardwood flooring to match the rest of the house. Check out the wonderful crack between the backdoor and the hallway frame!!!
