To save on the cost a little we decided that we would remove all the wonderful pink tile along the back wall and the 1980's themed mirrored bar along the left hand side of the wall. In another cost savings move we decide to have the appliance delivery people take away our old appliances (for free) the only caveat being that they all had to be removed. Again the removal proved to be pretty easy but it just meant that we have had live without an oven or a stove for over a week now which makes cooking a little difficult. On a positive note my Bar-B-Q skills have been improving daily.
Everything has been moving forward pretty smoothly just a little bit slowly. Ahh....but what would a renovation be without at least a couple of problems. The first one was totally unrelated to doing the kitchen but as it turns out I'm glad it happened before we had the cabinets installed. The bath tub on the second floor which happens to sit pretty much over the stove starting leaking onto the counter top. Nothing like a little bit of water damage on the ceiling to start things off . For those so interested you can see the nice hole here.
