Part of our kitchen remodel involves opening up the kitchen to the family room. In order for that to happen we needed to remove one set of our built in bookcases that frame our fireplace. We had talked about taking out both sets of shelves and replacing one set with a built-in entertainment center. Once we found out that the planned foundation repair work would be along that wall we decided to go ahead and demo both sets of bookcases. I did the demo work myself.
