Day 1: Today the demo started. The crew started by putting up plastic and taping off the work area. They also helped us move a couple of pieces of furniture. The actual demo was fairly straight forward. They removed all of the appliances and the cabinets.
Day 2: Demo continued. Today all of the drywall was removed and the guest toilet was pulled out.
Day 3: Electrician was out to clean up / remove all of the old circuits.
Day 4: Electrician & plumber did their respective rough-in work. Gas line was run for the new cook top. Water line was run for the refrigerator.
Day 5: Framing was started today. This did not go as well as was planned. With the ceiling opened up the crew found out that the existing joists / beams were smaller than what was called out in the plans. Essentially this mean that the structural engineer & architect had to make some changes and quickly design new framing. That
This is supposed to be a 9 week project. Week One is devoted to pulling out the old kitchen and framing the new walls and support beam.
