Kitchen demo

Well hello. Yes, I know it has been two months.  I know that everyone has been asking if I even still HAVE the  house.  While I have gotten a handwritten letter from a Realtor offering to buy my house (true story), I am still the proud owner of a small home in San Diego, CA.  So what have I done in the last two months?  Actually quite a bit.  

Before I started the electrical, my friend Diana and I tackled more demo, taking down the kitchen.  We took down the upper cabinets first.  I had to cut around a light box that had been installed above the sink.

Next we got the counters and base cabinets with a variety of tools.  The goal was to get the biggest chunk of tile we could.  I can't remember who won, but that tile was really heavy.

Not sure what I'm planning on hitting here, but look how much we had done!  We were pretty much covered in tile debris by the time we were done.

We left the sink, because I wanted a sink in the house, but I  later came back and removed it (that thing weighed a ton) as well as the lower section of plaster.  The electritians were coming the next week and openinng it up made it easier for them.

You might notice that the sink is still under the window.  I had no idea how to remove it, so I just put a bucket under it and left a note for the electricians that the water was still on (so the toilet would still work).  I had only knocked it on twice while removing the drywall.  In all it was a productive few days.
