Demo

This is what it looks like to lose your kitchen!


Day 1: Cabinets and Island go









Day 2: Rest of the cabinets and the soffit (bump down in the ceiling- the new kitchen cabinets go all the way up to the real ceiling)

Bad surprise #1: The soffit is filled with disgusting dusty looking insulation from the 50's
Bad surprise #2: The half-wall which used to house the sink is not just a cabinet, but backed with a random wood area that needs to be taken down ever so carefully as it's right next to the water pipes






Day #3: More stinking cabinets and soffit, keeping the kids distracted by making funny faces in phones and spending as much time outside as possible

Bad Surprise #3: Pulling down metal mesh behind the soffit is sharp (Ami gets three stiches)
Bad Surprise #4: The soffit on this side of the room is filled with wires that are going to need to go somewhere....







The remains:


Cabinets are ready for pick up- being donated on Tuesday (hooray for being ahead of schedule!), once the wooden "wall" gets removed this dumpster can be picked up (hooray for the end of demo!). Once the electrician starts he will remove and move the wall ovens (boo for no ovens!).

And, Ami's three new stitches on the back of his hand are fine and will need to be removed in 10-14 days.
