jbeck Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Ok folks after doing this job for 7 years I thought I was ready to do a little work in my own home, we had a wall between the kitchen and dining room that had to go. It was a bearing wall so It had to be taken and replaced with an LVL beam. here is the first pic of what we had to remove. this next pic is what the sink wall looked like, perfect example of what they did in 1972. Yep this is the view from the living room, this wall MUST GO !!!! Time to rip things up, I love breaking out the tools and tearing things up. this was day one, this project took exactly 3 weeks from start to finish. this is what Jill saw when she got home Monday evening, needless to say she was glad the wall was gone but hated the mess. LOL Saturday of the second week, it's time to bring in the new cabinets we are putting in the kitchen, this is going to be fun. Three hours latter it's time to christen the new Island with steak, baked beans, and some adult beverages. Alot got done this day, have one week to finish everything else out and get Momma back in her kitchen. Island put back in place after the floor went down, pots put back in order, finish crown moldings, base board molding, and quarter round molding. and here is the finished product, she has a 68 inch island, and a 60 inch desk area, the pantries on either side of the desk have full roll outs so she doesn't have to look into the shelves to see what is in there. Momma is Happy, and happy wife means happy life. What a great improvement. hope you all enjoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
