Kitchen Demolition


Welcome to renovation time! It’s about Spring 2006 in this timeline and we’ve got some wall repositioning work to do. The wall between the kitchen and bathroom is coming down along with a lot of other walls. Planning this kitchen remodeling project with Kitchen remodeling Edmonton Alberta has been incredible!

If you don’t have a professional plumber in your contact list like this plumbing repair in Scranton, PA, you may contact a plumber who can provide water heater repair, residential septic tank cleaning, and septic tank maintenance, and 24/7 emergency plumbing services. A trusted local plumber may be able to come out sooner than another service because they are available for emergencies. Let the best services like Seattle Plumbers | Professional Plumbing Company In Seattle, Wa that have the best local Seattle and local los angeles plumbers know what’s going on and they should be able to give you the perfect services and an estimated cost of the repair for kitchen and bathroom fixtures. You can also call Hearn Plumbing, Heating & Air for HVAC services in Mentor, OH. You can learn more here.

The more severe signs of water damage are present, for example, drafts from broken windows or doors, or cold air blowing in during the winter months. You can also check that pipes aren’t making sounds. For any plumbing guidance you can search online for a plumber serving Yorba Linda, CA.

Here we are with the inner walls torn out, the outer walls torn out, and working on tearing out the soffits too. My husband is on the step ladder working on demolishing everything. Can you believe we didn’t find a speck of insulation between the inner and outer walls? Suddenly the chill in the house made sense.

Here’s a shot that gives you a better look at the layout of the house. On the left are the stairs leading down to the basement (with yet another brilliant shade of aqua) and on the right are the stairs leading up to the attic where we still need some emergency plumber assistance.

The bathroom wasn’t safe from destruction either. No insulation here either, though we did find some nice old razor blades in the wall.

Meanwhile my brother-in-law rests after helping haul out the cast iron tub. I’m very thankful no one asked me to help haul that thing.

Next, we installed new windows and had electricians in Mint Hill, SC come out to install new lights and upgrade the existing electrical to work with modern appliances. We also had other electrical repairs that were done with the help of an electrical company such as callbigfamily.com/electrical-repair/. For additional electrical guidance visit hometeamelectric.com. I have two brother-in-laws and one worked as a plumber (Learn More About Electrical Synergies here) and the other worked in HVAC in a prestige and excellent company similar to United Plumbing Heating Air & Electric services, so both were able to help us out with the necessary plumbing and ductwork changes. You can learn more from PIC Plumbing on how we ensured that plumbing work is done right. After that we were ready to drywall.

You can see here that we built onto an old wall on the right of the screen. This is actually where the original kitchen door stood. In that nook we built we planned to fit in a full sized range, fridge, and even cabinetry.

This is the same wall where that awful sink and toilet once stood. Is drywall better than pink tile?

Find out how we decided to fill the space in tomorrow’s post.

    You mentioned finding old razor blades in the wall. Way back then they used to have a slit in the back of the medicine cabinet. When you were finished with each blade you would slide it into that slit. Why somebody thought of doing that is still a mystery to me. I’m curious as to how many you think you had back there?
