Day 1 Destruction


The workers quickly detached and removed the counters, cupboards, and appliances today. Both Jim and I worked from home.  I was not bothered by the noise, but Jim struggled to hear his co-workers over zoom today. 

The workers kindly gathered things they found that we might like to keep.  We recognized some missing hot pads, marbles, and utensils, but these recipes are not ours.



Meanwhile we are getting used to our temporary kitchen conveniently located within our living room, and our temporary coffee bar in our guest bedroom. 


I have no idea what is happening tomorrow but Wednesday we are leaving the house while the asbestos removal specialists can remove the old flooring.

    Wow! Will increasing the property value allow you to charge your occupant more rent? Looking forward to the next update on your FODMAP-friendly kitchen!

 We're getting so close.  I love the tiles and the random pattern created by the installer.

Day 43 So Many Cabinets!

 We have so many lovely cabinets.  I'm looking forward to organizing all my kitchen stuff into these spaces.   All of the lower cabinets are drawers. Drawers are more accessible than cabinets with shelves.   (The one mis-matched cupboard and the darker floor-to-ceiling panel will be replaced to match the lighter color.) Evidence of a temporary mistake. The cabinet installers neglected to install a 1/2" spacer to allow the drawers to clear the existing molding. Much better.  I'm sure it was a lot of effort to move the whole wall of cabinets 1/2" to the right. The "mud room" area is coming along nicely.
