With only one short wall of floor cabinets left to remove (plus the sink and the dishwasher), we're definitely starting to feel like we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And we got a good start yesterday on the remaining cabinets with the removal of this mammoth guy.
He is the only cabinet in the entire kitchen that is a true floor-to-ceiling unit and definitely one that we have dreaded removing. It probably took us about an hour and several mallet marks on the ceiling to finally wiggle him free. When we finally did, we discovered surprise number #23.
I never noticed till we were removing the mammoth cabinet that it is not as deep as the other cabinets, and I guess it's cause they needed room for this huge pipe behind it. Chris says it's the main drain, but since it connects to the ceiling/attic (and at least at the moment, there's nothing for it to drain up there), the drain to somewhere remains shrouded in mystery. I kind of like it that way.
If we're able to pull off a wildly productive day today, we might actually be able to begin laying the new floor tomorrow, which is very exciting. Today also marks the end of week 1 on the project (which we were hoping to complete in about 7-8 days). How are we holding up? Chris began sketching out our next project at breakfast this morning...
