Kitchen Face Lift #3

Ruin:...Complete collapse or destruction,

or the remains of something destroyed

(Webster Dictionary)

~~~

"This window is just taking up useful

space, it has to go!" I told AJ and

so it went.

Gone!!!! My fridge will now be

in front of it. This will give ME

room for a pantry and

needed extra cupboards and

counter space.

Next Jen and AJ cleared out my very

over crowded cupboards. I did sort

through stuff I haven't used in years

and gave to the Pets & People Thrift Store.

The contents of my cabinets were

packed in large plastic storage boxes

and stored in my shed.

Next the doors were removed.



They then worked on clearing out the
bottom cupboards and removing
the bottom doors.





Now the fun started.
Each manned a hammer and
stared tearing out the cupboards.







Believe Me when I say
"they were noisey".

These were the original cupboards and were

hand built. They were very sturdy and

took quite a bit of muscle to remove.

But, My Darlings stuck with it.

Jen kept saying to ME,

"Mom are you sure you want to do this?"

Like, now is a little bit late to turn back!!!!!

They were like my very own

Energizer Bunnies:

they just kept going and going

and going!!!

Now, I am going to admit,

I did almost

NOTHING!

Every time I got up to help, I was

told to sit down or get back.
Believe ME, they didn't have

to tell ME twice!

I told Jen

"You look-ca like a Women

and work-ca like a Man!

I told AJ,

You Look-ca like a Man

and work-ca like a Young Man!

Load after load was carried

out to the truck.

Just getting rid of this trash is a job in it's self.

This is the new spot for the fridge,

in front of the old window.

The little microwave cart

will be a thing of the past.

Cabinets all gone!

All Gone!

AJ left the sink hook up,

Thank Goodness!

It will come out just before

the new cabinets are installed.

Here Wade and Jen are pulling up

the kitchen floor and some of the

dining area carpet.

Boy am I glad to see that stuff go.

Well this is what I am living in now.

Just remnants of a kitchen.

Well I get a call from my contractor,

and he tells ME my cupboards are in

and will be installed Monday, April 19.

He says they will deliver the wall

cabinets today. And they did.

Now my kitchen and dining area are

filled up with boxed cupboards.

The bottom cabinets will be delivered after the

tops are installed. Then we wait for

the counter tops.

To be continued........
