by Before commenting on the real demolition, I should mention that I experimented with the existing cabinet doors to see if they could be rejuvenated. I wanted to remove the thermofoil wrapping, exposing the MDF beneath, and see if painting them would produce a decent result.
The result was okay, but not good enough to push forward. So new cabinets would be needed. Working with Chris, we worked out the new kitchen layout I wanted, which would require moving pipes to accommodate a new large island with a sink (a big job, as you will see in a future post).
Before the serious demo work started, I got going by removing the cabinets along the wall.
The week before Christmas, a dumpster was brought in and Chris got to work doing the major demo work, which involved pulling up the flooring and demoing the two bathrooms.
Notice that we removed the rounded corner beads, which will be replaced with proper square corners when the drywall is restored.
