Kitchen photo progress update

A gimps of the "pre-disaster" kitchen.

 The demolition phase came by surprise. I was on a business trip and suddenly it was time to remove all of the cupboards in this photo and relocate everything to the other side of the kitchen. G did his best to manage the mess, but I arrived home to quite a surprise.

 Pantry on the left is gone.  The stove and cupboards were out and bathroom framing was in so fast, we have no transition photos.

The living room floor needs matching wood to patch the holes left by the prior heater vents.

The freshly framed powder room floor is sacrificed, quick and painless. Now we can see the new electrical and plumbing go in underneath us.

Next to go is the kitchen floor. As you can see, this kitchen went from okay to disaster in a matter of hours. We decided it was time to move out. It is about a 10 foot drop to the cellar floor. But the ducting and plumbing work is  much easier in the light of day.

Some random plywood and stray planks gave me enough solid floor to traverse over to the sink and clean up the dishes and put away the food. Prior to this photo, it looked like a bomb had gone off in the middle of a meal. Dishes, food, pots and pans everywhere. Amazing how the fridge, microwave, lights and eventually gas lines are all in tack and continue to work despite the missing floor.

 Today we function pretty well in our temporary kitchen. Everything works, the plywood floor is bolted in, The random rugs keep splinters out of our toes and we basically eat every meal out. Nothing wrong with this scenario.

In this photo you can see our current living space.  Bath to the right, bedroom in the back and kitchen. It will do for now.
