Yes the kitchen is looking a lot emptier now. The tile is gone. The fridge is out on the deck. All the horrible useless cabinets have been hauled away. Whoo Hoo!There must, of course, in every complete redo, be a large problem that can't be seen until you really get going. We found ours.
Here you can see that the boxed in top 10-15 inches of the kitchen was not boxed in for cosmetic purposes. So we are having a plumber come out tomorrow to hopefully tell us how we can put these pipes back where they belong, in the ceiling space or the wall cavity and OUT of my kitchen!!!
The other pipe that must be moved is the drain by the hood vent. Sadly the new hood needs to have a vent right where that drain goes. So we might have to rip out the sheet rock below so we can move that pipe a little to the left or right. Hopefully the plumber will have a good idea (and price!) and we can get quickly back to getting the kitchen ready to install into.
In the meantime we ate yummy crockpot chicken with rice cooker rice and peas. Cooking is easy. I'm not so convinced about the crampground style dishwashing using the outdoor tap. We might switch to compostable plates in a day or two. Certainly if the plumbing delays cause more than a week without a sink, I will need to find a happier way to do the dishes.
