Gutted!
Ok, I just thought we were committed when I posted the last post. I suppose, if something had happened, we could have just replaced the floor and still had a kitchen. But now we’re really committed! We donated the cabinets, countertops, and appliances to Habitat for Humanity, and they sent someone out to pull it all for us! Yea! Free demo, and the stuff will end up in their “Re-Store” and get reused instead of going in the landfill.
Construction should start first thing Monday morning. We are hiring a contractor do to stuff like knock out the wall, remove the soffits, move the doorway, and do the electrical/plumbing. Then the same guys who textured the ceilings before we moved in will come back, so the kitchen will match the rest of the house. Then the kitchen should be ready to fill with cabinets, countertops, appliances, flooring, and whatever else we haven’t thought of yet.
wow! look at that fancy linoleum underneath everything… I’m sure you’re disappointed you couldn’t salvage that. =)
Looks exciting! Hope everything goes smoothly and quickly!
