In Which We Tear a Big Hole in the Kitchen Wall
We have our project schedule, and mingled among the various things we have on the list to fulfill the needs of our permit, we have other things that are not as time-dependent.
One of which was replacing the failing kitchen cabinet.
(Our kitchen is not usually this tidy; I moved everything out of the way in order to begin this project. Normally this countertop is a raging pile of drying herbs, piled up recipes, notes to ourselves, and assorted animal medications.)
The cabinet has been slowly falling off the wall for the last couple of years, though recently the fall has accelerated and that was giving us some worry.
These cabinets were built by some member of the previous owners' family, and were completely inadequately supported. Also, I'm not a big fan of the closed-in soffit look; I figure if you have the space, put more cabinets up there.
Anyway, we had resolved that sometime early this year we would go get some IKEA cabinets and tear out the original cabinet on this wall. And today it was gray and rainy and so we just kind of tore a big hole in the kitchen.
