Kitchen destruction – Day 5

The kitchen area is now completely gutted. As we peel back the layers, it is very interesting to discover the wack-a-doodle things the prior owners did on the first and second remodel of the kitchen. This large blank area in the middle of the floor is the result of a re-tiling from 14 years ago when they apparently did not  remove and reinstall the island. No wonder it always felt a bit short as they had  raised the level of the floor around the island without raising it too. So, those ugly white, cracked tiles are soon to be gone. Handy thing about putting in new windows. The carpenters are tossing all the old stuff out the rough opening for the window so they don’t have to walk through the finished area of the house with construction destruction debris.  And, of course, there is a big open hole in the house and the temperature is 20 degrees.

Kitchen destruction - day 5

And where am I hiding out, you might ask?  This is my temporary hovel in the laundry room/downstairs kitchen.  Everything in one tiny little space including the table which now serves as my office where I’m about to start writing the annual Christmas card.
