Kitchen Demolition: Part 4 - The Cabinets

This was the fun part (for me at least), as we could see a lot of progress being made in a short time. We knew that in order to get the ceiling & floor installed and the kitchen painted before the new cabinets arrived, we had to start taking apart the old ones. So here you can see how the kitchen came apart, piece by piece, as we prepared to move into the reconstruction phase of the project (yay!).

Robbie loved using his power drill for pretty much anything - but it made the cabinets come down a lot easier too!

You can see where the refrigerator used to be in the corner, and the cabinets above it with dirt stains.

Another interesting piece of the kitchen was the "wallpaper" between the cabinets and countertop, which was actually just a thin piece of the countertop glued to the wall!

While the countertop "wallpaper" came off pretty easily, the glue left behind was another story.

The cabinet over the oven was left because the exhaust vent went right through it.

Dad and Robbie get ready to take out the bottom cabinets and cleaning up some of the mess left behind.

Lots of demolition and hauling away cabinets! Initially we took them out to our back porch, but eventually they made their way into the garage, back in the "man cave" as Robbie likes to call it. All this work was done on a Friday night, in preparation for more demolition and our first step of reconstruction coming the next day! More on that fun adventure next!
