Yesterday, my son and I finally demolished the last of the old lower kitchen cabinets. Since we are living in the middle of this project and need to use the kitchen as it progresses I made up some nifty little counters from scraps and put them on some small wheels that I had out in my storage shed. Even the stove and kitchen sink are on moveable counters; all I need to do is shut off the gas and water and disconnect things and the counters move away from the wall while I finish things. The first shot is from the other day when the cabinet for the stove was removed, the second one is from last night.
I was real proud of my sheet metal work. We had a downdraft ventilation system before and are now going with an over the stove top vent so I built a box to fit in the wall cavity to take the air from where the hood will go and vent it down to the hole already in the wall which you can see in the first picture. Covered the hole with some plastic to keep the humid air from outside coming in! Had to also reroute some wires around where the box had to go.
Today, I plan to move the counters away from the wall and finish up changes to the electrical and plumbing. Hope to get the new drywall on and then next week start floating and taping all the seams and holes.
