Kitchen demo. Check.

The kitchen is gone. Last Saturday while Sarah was in Vegas for Anna's bachelorette party, my dad, Mark, Sarah's uncle Scott, and I demoed the old kitchen. As has been the case with all work at the house, we found all kinds of sketchy modifications that had been made since the place was built in 1956.

The masks came on after we discovered a skeletal rat corpse and nest under the cabinets. Otherwise, there were few surprises. We took about 4,000 pounds of cabinetry, drywall, and framing to the dump today.

Now I guess we're committed to building the new kitchen. Next up — adjusting the load-bearing wall.
