Days 2 & 3 More Destruction

Yesterday they removed the soffits and today they removed the original 1960 linoleum flooring. We knew that there was asbestos (25% Chrysotile) in the flooring. Rather than adding another layer of flooring over the existing we decided to take out the old stuff. Given the amount of safety equipment for the removal in 2025, I'm wondering how the workers who installed our floor and many others in 1960 fared.

I think the deconstruction is done and building can commence.

Day 61 Backsplash!

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.

Day 54 We Have Counters and a Sink!

Counters and our new sink were installed this morning. Hi-Macs Solid Surface in Color Portland
