The Demo - week 1

Day one of the project saw mostly the plumbing work in the basement. I wish I had a picture of the disgusting, moldy concrete sink that we got rid of to create all that debris!

Of course, in the planning process, one thing led to another and we found out we also have a leak in the 1st floor shower, so we had to have the piping and fixtures replaced as well.

Then demo on the cabinets began. They are now in our basement, conveniently blocking the way to our elliptical machine.



Day 3-4 - after a very loud couple of days, the kitchen is completely bare and open.

And there may even be usable wood flooring underneath it all!

By the end of week one, we have a new utility sink and a fairly sweet set-up in the basement for washing dishes. And our makeshift kitchen is not too bad either, thanks to the table - top oven and a hot plate (thanks Kate and Josh & Jenn!).
