Today the workers showed up to do some kitchen demo. The weather is still too iffy to cut the skylights so that will wait until Monday - weather permitting.
Sort of shocking to discover that the cabinets were attached to the wall by some nails. Not many either. The worker stated that the paint was actually holding the cabinets to the wall!
Watching demo is fun. One by one the cabinets disappeared - in tact. Not like HGTV where the home owner goes nuts and starts smashing apart the cabinets. :)
I'm in the dining room for this photo while the guys are working in the Kitchen. This serves as a fresh reminder of the "before" photo for this phase.
Little bit of sawing had some sparks flying (really), some smoke and dust. Started wondering if the cabinet would ignite!
Cool!
Fast forward to this! Wall all gone! Isn't it awesome?
You can see the hardwoods had been installed after the house was built. They installed the floor around the existing cabinet bases.
Wow! But wait, it gets better. By the time I returned from the office, see what happened to the floor -
Can you even tell there had been big holes in the floor that morning? The flooring guy is really talented. I'm blown away at his work, and it's not even done!
Hello open concept kitchen! Note the refrigerator is now downstairs in our temporary kitchen. The sink was left functional for now. And the island will eventually go away too.
Current view from the kitchen. Can't wait to see what next week brings!
