We discovered our laundry room sink had been leaking, which caused all kinds of destruction to the inside of the cabinet. The only way to fix it... Demolition!
We were already planning on replacing the tile floor, so my original plan was to remove the tile countertop, take out the cabinet so Mr. Right could rebuild the parts with water damage and then put it all back in. Here I'm chiseling away at the tile countertop.
Only to discover there's a 2" thick concrete foundation under the tile... UGH!
With lots more chiseling, and Mr. Rights strength, the counter and cabinet were removed.
Here's the after. Because of the water damage, the drywall behind the sink also had to be removed.
Little Biggs 6 loved hammering away and taking out the drywall. Now, this is where things get a little fuzzy. I believe I was laying on the couch, listening as Little Biggs 6 hammered at the drywall and Mr. Right sweep it up, when a vision came to me. (I use the term vision loosely) I envisioned the door way being removed between the laundry room and my craft room. Our laundry room is very narrow and now that the cabinet was out I could see the potential in removing the door way. The main complication is that just the night before Mr. Right had finished the new flooring and baseboards in the craft room. By taking out the door way we would loose 2 of our new walls of baseboards as well as a full row of new flooring that was custom cut around the door... Hmmmm, what to do. After a short discussion with Mr. Right, Little Biggs 5 got to be the first to take a whack at the wall.
Little Biggs 6 was next...
Then they really got in the spirit, one on each side of the wall. See my pretty new flooring and baseboards?
So of course I can't move that yucky old cabinet back in! I'm thinking an old chipping hutch centered on the wall. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Hopefully we can get this place cleaned up in the next few weeks! See you next time.
