Well....
When we moved in, I thought the kitchen looked fine...and I posted a while back on how the wife didn't like the wallpaper in the kitchen...so she started to peel it off the wall.....
well...the wall came with the wall paper...and left some holes in the wall...where the old plaster was falling apart from age, moisture, and just the basic elements...
So..we tore down a few walls in the kitchen....and then we left it as is for about a month while we worked on another project...and another..and another....well...this week, I got back into the kitchen...and started to get some major work done.
Here's whats the wall looked like when we bought the house...
Here's what we tore down.....
It's in need of a lot of work...not to much...but enough to warrent a full rebuild...
So...a lot of destruction, and then a lot of cleaning...and we can see the outer wall...
Ewwwwww...an old wasp's nest...I'm glad nobodies home....
the next few pic's are...once again....are GRAPHIC....you have been warned...
Continue at your own risk....
And this is where I called it a day.....
and the gallery link... here
Time for some rest and a beer....
Tommorrow...is to get some more insulation, and to buy a new heat effieciant window, and try to get it installed and sealed , and but up some more sheetrock...hopefully..for the week-end...its just putty, sand, and paint...then I can plan the next step...to but the cabinates and fridge the way it was..or to knock down the wall to the adjoining pantry...and put them there...and have the dining tible in the middle of the room with a sunroom breakfast table....
more joys of owning a house.....
