Two weekends worth of work...
The kitchen before... countertops out of level, unmatched finishes, unfinished backsplash... The range and the refrigerator are brand new, furnished by the bank. Both will be sold on Craig's List, as will the stainless steel sink and all the cabinets if I don't use them in the garage.
The kitchen after... The sheet rock all needs to be replaced as it is a mishmash of patches, cracks and taping.
Caren posing with her new kitchen door...
well, what will be her new kitchen door
Living room before...
there is a fireplace behind that wall somewhere!
Living room after... 3/8" particle board subflooring on 2x6 t&g decking.
still looking for the fireplace!
Found it!
Also found three of these guys along with a large gray squirrel that made their way down the
chimney only to find themselves trapped... poor little buggers
And we finally ended up with this...
Forgive the terribly blurry Iphone pic, but I had to include this shot. The 4'x4' tile entry was nearly the death of me. It took the better part of three hours to get up. Between it and the vinyl floor in the kitchen I was just about destroyed. Whoever laid the flooring in this little house knew what they were doing.I'll post more deconstruction pics later, but for now I'll leave you with a few action shots...
Caren slaving away in the kitchen...
Mother bleepin' bleep, bleep... Hand me the
bleepin' crescent wrench!
The HazMat crew about to tackle the mouse urine
soaked insulation... Again, forgive the blurriness. The boys
were laughing so hard that I couldn't get them to hold still.
