Thanks for the pep talk Bob,
I keep finding little things as I go here. Not only were those two floor joist cut but they were being held up by the drop ceiling below which is also attached to a non-load bearing wall. And that floor right below that wall has a sag of about 1 1/2" (which by the way has a rather large heat radiator sitting right below those joist also). I am planning on taking out that radiator and sistering the joist, but I doubt I'll jack that wall back up since it would more than likely crack the ceiling in the opposite room and it's a real nice hand done plaster design.

I did get the big sink off the wall yesterday and moved to the workshop where it's going to be reattached to a wall.



Here's what I plan on cutting out (marked out in pencil) so the wife can have a passthrough bar. Picked up the three 2x12's for the header yesterday and all the temporary braces to install it so hopefully I'll get that wall cut this week and it may look more like I've done something.
