Old Kitchen. |
To save time, we called on the
Junk Brothers to do the demolition and removal of the kitchen. If you are trying to shave areas of where to spend money, I would recommend doing this yourself. You will need to rent industrial garbage bins for this, but it will most definitely save you money, but not time. The
Junk Brothers did an amazing, clean job. I went to the site to find a very trimmed, no fuss job!

A clean demo job. Surprising, right? |
From here, the ball really got rollin'. Every day was like opening a christmas present; I didn't know what to expect. I would walk behind my house and find it in a different state.

One day I showed up after work and I found these fun toys in my yard. |
|
This is what the toys did. They made a huge hole. Soon to be my basement. |

A few days later, the preparation for the footings took place. |

The journey has truly begun and it's only getting messy before it gets better!
And I can't say enough thanks to everyone that has helped me get to this point. Truly, I could not have gotten here without the help from all of you!!
