Today Marshall, our wonderful friend/contractor, took out all of the cabinets on one side of the kitchen, and, as expected, we've already run into a few things that are going to add on to our cost. But we were expecting this...
The wiring in the kitchen is not up to code. (You mean building codes have changed in the past 32 years?!?) So now the electrician is getting a bigger piece of the pie...just how much bigger remains to be seen. Marshall also found evidence of some "extra pets" in the attic, so we also put in a call to the exterminator to get rid of the rodents...and we're thinking rats, not cute little furry mice...big, nasty rats! We've never had any problems inside the house, so all I can say is, "Thank goodness we have 3 cats!"
Despite those little bits of bad news, we are actually VERY pleased with the work so far. As you can see from the slideshow, just taking out that stupid L and the dropped ceiling makes the kitchen look so much bigger! I'm already looking forward to seeing new stuff go in!

I LOVE remodeling, especially if it's in someone else's house!
