Kitchen demolished!

Andrew demolished the kitchen in less than 24 hours, with some much-needed help from my dad (plumbing) and brother (truck and transportation to the dump). Exciting photos of the event have been posted to Flickr.


It was interesting to see how rotted the old Formica backsplash located behind the sink had become:

I never actually used this crowbar for anything else but scratching my back. But Andrew used it to its full potential on the cabinets.

Bingo in the TV room

I’m so pleased with the color of our walls – Benjamin Moore “Sweet Vibrations.” I didn’t think it would turn out to be so yellow, but it’s really grown on me. I especially like it at night when the lamps are lit.
