So after getting the keys to the house and seeing it empty for the first time, our original plans of redoing a bathroom first changed.
And especially after moving the appliances out, we confirmed our choice. Kitchen it is!
The cabinet bottoms varied from crumbling to sawdust. Not from termites thankfully, but from water damage from some time ago.
Our plan is to open up the kitchen, pulling back the interior wall between the kitchen and the front door to the stairs, for more light and open feel. We are debating leaving the open space where the wall was for an island or space for a kitchen table.
Don't freak, it is dead! Found this feller in the wall, dried at a right angle. Sure gave us a scare though...
We found areas of bad drywall too, from more water damage, behind the sink area. There was also water damage in the celing in the kitchen, from a leaky skylight a couple years ago. Nothing currently leaking though. We decided to tear out all the drywall in the kitchen in the end, so we can have a fresh clean base for our new cabinets. We didn't want to risk any mold growth chance in the future.
Where did the kitchen go?
We ordered new cabinets last weekend already, taking advantage of a Memorial Day sale at Lowes. They were delivered today. It will be a little bit before we install them. Drywall, flooring, and a little wiring to be done first.
