Day 1: Kitchen Crashers

Well, David and Brady were itching to get started. 
So much so, that they started before I had a chance to get over there and take all my before pictures. 


By the time I arrived, the built in book case had already been removed.

Their current project for work has been making cabinets for a customer's cabin kitchen here in town.  They took it as their chance to create a model version of cabinets that will eventually be in our Old House kitchen.
They figured, the kitchen is as good as anywhere to start Day 1. 

My dream was to open the kitchen up a little.  Create more of an open concept feeling to it.  In our current house, the kitchen is well removed from the main living space.  When you're in the kitchen, you might as well be in another country.











Where there once was a wall, now there isn't.
 Inside the walls were some interesting tidbits and about 100 years worth of mouse poop. 

Also inside the walls, which I never fathomed having non-construction-worker thinking, were things like plumbing, duct work, and electrical.  Giving my dreamy idea of a completely opened up kitchen, a reality check.  I also had to learn the concept of compromise, which I still am having a hard time accepting.  But maybe if I give in here, I will get my way somewhere else.  I'm crossing my fingers.

  2. Plumbing is a very important component to any kitchen. It is a critical element to maintain. If you are doing any type of kitchen remodeling, you may be tempted to avoid making changes to the water lines and drains because it seems too hard to fix. On the other hand, you may think this job is easy enough to do on your own. To avoid that, it may be time to consider turning to a professional. He or she can work with you from the start to get this job under control. It's not something that has to limit your kitchen-remodeling task either.
