For awhile now, I've been wanting to take down a cabinet in the kitchen. To me, it blocked off a lot of light, and space, and I've pretty much hated it ever since I moved in. It wasn't something I felt I could do on my own, although I did manage to take off the doors and hinges. While the family was over the other night, my Dad and my brother decided this was a task they could handle, and immediately got to work. A few minutes later, said cabinet was gone, along with the faux wood paneling on the wall, and the ugly wallpaper underneath it. And now I have a cleanup job to do.
The original job of installing the cabinet doesn't appear to have been done right in the first place. They used nails instead of screws, cut away the molding, and barely had the old eyesore secured. It all came down far too easily.
Eventually, I'd like to take down that wall altogether, and for a brief moment, we actually considered demoing it right then. But I think that's a bigger cleanup job than I have the energy for at the moment. So for now, I'll leave it, and get somebody in to get it all slicked up.
