The Kitchen Remodel: Before Shots

The wall between the kitchen and the dining room which is coming down. The perpendicular wall at the end has to stay because it has duct work which was going to be a major pain to reroute.

Inside the kitchen: the wall opposite the wall which will be removed.

Doug and I spent Christmas of 2004 remodeling the kitchen of our CA townhouse. We loved the finished product and completely appreciated it every time we used it. While we prefer our CO house, we still mourn the loss of our updated CA kitchen. So after two years, we decided it was time to get back a kitchen we love. What's even better is that this time around, we hired a contractor! Lack of time and desire aside, there was just too much work that we don't do to even consider doing the job ourselves. A wall is coming down and a ceiling is being raised. Both events require rerouting plumbing lines and are the bulk of the fee that we're paying the contractor. So while he's at it, we're having Claude do the whole thing.

The work started this morning but a snowstorm got things off to a slow start. The messy, demo work should begin tomorrow. In the mean time, I have included the soon to be forgotten "before" pictures. Estimated time of completion is 5-6 weeks.
