End of Round One!
Ok, so there's a section of the wall opened up, and it looks pretty good. There is one wire going straight up through the wall. There are also a couple of outlets in the base board that'll have to be taken care of.
On the other side of this wall is the bedroom that we moved into last weekend. Now my job is to un-do what we did last weekend. I have to move all of the furniture back upstairs. This is just until I remove this wall and build a full width archway that supports the wall upstairs. So I'll be back in about an hour. After I move the furniture back upstairs into Grace's "Someday" room, I'm going to remove all of the sheet rock and lathe that is on this wall. Hopefully by the end of the night, you'll be able to look right through this wall, as only the studs will be left.
OK back to work...

Good for you! Are you sure that's a load bearing wall? You may not have to worry about it carrying the wall above. Most floor systems are designed to carry interior non-load bearing walls without needing support from below. If there's any gap at all between the top of that wall and the floor above, you know it's not load bearing and whatever you put in can be cosmetic and only needs to be able to carry it's own weight (and will be cheaper.)
Just read your other post that says it was built in 1810. So maybe don't listen to me. :)
Love that you are renovating. I love watching the process so take lots of pictures!!!
More pics will be posted soon! Updating the blog now! (There's a lot. Been working hard) :)
