Day 9


It was a pretty big day today.  Downstairs the new furnace went in.  The old one was 28 years so it was time...



We lost the kitchen today!!  I was SO excited!  But not fast enough with the camera because John had the countertops and the bar cabinets out of there SO fast.



That big circle was a lazy susan.  We'll have 2 of those in the new kitchen.  These cabinets were built in place, so it wasn't pretty taking them apart.  If you look closely, you can see that all of the insides were really ugly plywood.  Guess that's why the previous owners covered everything with contact paper (which was also ugly)



And...there goes the flooring.  All of the tile and the layer of subfloor under it.  



This is what is left at the end of the day.  The stove is going to friends tomorrow.  The trash can and buckets are covering heating vent holes.  Apparently there was an old, unused register inside the cabinet.



Sophie checking out the changes.  That yellow hideousness is the original linoleum floor, and was the footprint of the original kitchen.  This house was built in 1964.  Wow, what a tiny kitchen!



There are LOTS of nails sticking up everywhere, so the plastic is staying up for now.  At some point all those nails have to come out or get pounded in before the new floor can go in.



And here's the sink, sitting outside.  How trailer trash is that??  Its there because I asked them to save it for me.  I'm thinking of using it for a garden/potting area sink at some point.  Or we can use it in the barn, when we build one.  Oh, so many projects...
