    I will be super impressed when you get that sheet rocked (or whatever covering your planning). I can't imagine how that is done.

    The construction is way easier than the demolition on this house, that's for sure.

    oh are you ever going to have fun mudding that one! Glad it is you having to do it.
    There are a lot of good vids on youtube showing how to deal with an archway if you are interested.

    I think you and the wife will be very pleased with the outcome. Change is good. Having your own work to look at is often very rewarding.

    i did an arch once. mudding it was a nightmare but the end result was it looked really great. It replaced a hollow core doorway between the kitchen and dining room. totally worth it.
