Day One: Let the Demo Begin

What a week. Here is a pic from Tuesday AM of the kitchen. The cabinets are removed and the canned lights have been installed. They kept hitting beams when trying to properly space the lights. We used to have one big square florecent light box in teh middle, you can see where it used to be in the pic.

Another fun discovery...see the wall straight ahead to the right of the door? That's where our cooktop and old hood were. Notice the lack of a vent where the hood was? Yep, apparently our old hood wasn't even venting outside. The big, fancy industrial one we ordered needs a vent. There were snags in that plan discovered due to structual beam gettign in the way of where we would vent and a shower above the hood. Long story short we have a new hood on its way.

The other fun surprise was the lack of hardwoods under where the cabinets were. Hopefully the redesigned kitchen matches up pretty good. We'll be working a little patchwork magic.
