Boxing Day Bliss

Boxing day came with great anticipation. Faucet time! I am nominated since I have the smallest shoulders to crawl under the new sink.

This view only comes from underneath the sink, and I hook up my first sink ever! I am both proud of myself and understand why plumbers earn so much money.

My Loving Spouse gets his turn as well….unhooking up the old faucet. Yes, he has slightly more room than I did, but he also got wet.

We move the dishwasher, install the old sink into the new mud room and prepare….for ‘demo’ day.

I wake up, excited! I was dreaming. Some dream of Hawaii…I dream of demo!

This is the day, that we demolish the old kitchen. We’ve plans to remove all the lower cabinets and pull up the fir floor and sub floor.

A careful ‘whack-attack’ kind of day…

Pooh comes in to supervise.

Sometimes we get really smart, today was one of those days. We hired Young Buck for the day. He was a delightful worker. He worked hard, jumped in and worked along side us, really well. Not belonging to Team Offspring, we noticed he didn’t try to tell us, what we were doing ‘wrong’.

Have I told you, that Demo is my favorite?

The good news about working in the winter, is that you remember how cold it gets. We plan for insulation due to this reminder. Tomorrow’s plan is to insulate the floor, lay a new sub floor, level everything out and continue laying the engineered bamboo flooring.

We’ve waited a long time for this day…

We are tired….

and believe me, we are blessed.
