Kitchen Renovations

Well the time had finally arrived.  Time to get rid of the old retro look in the kitchen and replace it with a more up do date version.  First, some snaps of the old set up.

Note, the fridge is in a state of renovation as well.




Then it was demolition time.  To save on cost and maximise enjoyment, we decided to go for it ourselves. 
Unscrewing the cupboard doors
The old cabinets were all nailed together so a gentle, tidy demolition was impossible.  Instead, it was straight into it with the sledgehammer.


After giving up the hammer to Kelley, I never got it back....

First wall cleared

Chris came round to help smash stuff up.  Then I really didn't get anywhere near the sledgehammer.
