Kitchen Remodel
Read More10/22/2012 Demolition started around 9:30 this morning. I stayed around long enough to see the stove and refrigerator moved to the dining room and to see the cabinet doors come off. I headed to work at that point. Here's what I came home to! Mike said it was harder than he thought it would be. The cabinets were connected individually to the wall I guess instead of being installed as a unit. He said it all had to be taken out piece by piece. The countertop was a piece of concrete a couple inches thick. The cast iron sink was apparently quite heavy. The room looks smaller with everything out of it, which seems funny to me. Tomorrow they finish taking out the floor and the plumber comes to start his work. So this is the wall where the sink was. The next picture is where the microwave was, and the third picture is where the stove was.
10/24/2012 I also met with the cabinet guy today. He did his final measurements and we talked about a couple changes. This was his drawing on the wall to give me a visual of what we were talking about. Now he does drawings to show exactly what things will look like before he actually starts building them.
11/14/2012 Toby has been banned from the kitchen for awhile because he started peeing on the floor. Today he was having fits to get in there. I decided life would be easier if I let him explore and just closely monitored him. Of course he had to be up on the cabiniets! He tried to get inside the upper ones when I was looking around, but I drew the line there!
