Tim began by ripping up the kitchen floors down to the original sub floor. Now mind you, the rest of the house has beautiful hardwoods but the kitchen has layer upon layer of linoleum. What were they thinking?!
After reaching the sub floor, Tim began attacking the kitchen cabinets and counters. This is where the war got interesting and very gory. Our hope was to salvage the original cabinets and counters so that after the new floor was installed, we could put them back into place. HA! Were we wrong! There is no way they can be removed without the assistance of sledge hammers and saws.
So much for a minor house project; our only option is to remodel our entire kitchen (minus new appliances.)
Here's the current bloody mess...
The one good thing was Lowes and Home Depot were both running 20% off sales on kitchen cabinets and countertops this weekend. Very timely!

yikes! at least it will be done well before the babies come! :)
Hehehe, we know the feeling! It'll be worth it, and yes...better now way before those babies are here! :)
Aw gee! Can't wait to see the "after" pictures. Don't stress those babies out too much! :O)
too bad Keith and I aren't nearby or I'd offer his services on laying wood floors! (I'm sure he'd appreciate that :-)--we helped some good friends up here do that a few months ago!
