Demolition!

Hello there! I have had an incredibly trying day! I hope yours is going better than mine!!

Anyway, on to the home demolition. Let me say, we started the demo and got the house in "move in condition" in 8 weeks.

here we go!

Remember this??


Already looks better huh? Those cabinets were original to the house and hard as heck to get out!!!!
We ended up having to rip out all the drywall along one wall in the kitchen to move the plumbing for the new sink. The bathroom is on the other side of that wall.
Now we were going try try and salvage this cabinetry, and I was going to paint it. Then I decided that since the house has no dedicated dining room that this part should be the dining room. So all the cabinets had to come out. It really was a shame, good quality, ugly, but good quality. And again hard to get out!!!

No more cabinets and no more flooring!!
This is the opposite side of the kitchen. It had a tiny pantry. We decided that we would take the water heater from the bathroom and move it here. Dry wall over it and make it accessible from the garage. This may have been a bad decision to get rid of the pantry, but the water heater took up like half of the ONLY bathroom.

Snug in its new home.
eek. I cringe at the site.
already much better huh??

Next come the good stuff!!! Paint and these beauties
ohhh la la!! Can't wait to show you!
