I'm having a passthrough put in between the kitchen and the living room. The original plan was to take down as much as the wall as possible, but Frank the contractor explained the difference in price was roughly $400 for the passthrough and roughly $4,000 for the wall demo. The issues were that (a) it's a load-bearing wall, (b) there's plumbing running through there, (c) there are ducts in the wall, and (d) there's a good amount of electrical running through the wall. So, I went with the passthrough.

Passthrough in Progress
Frank couldn't make the passthrough as large as I had hoped, and there's a structural (which translates to a financial) reason for keeping more of the wall than I wanted. Either way, it makes a big difference already to the feel of the place.
