Nick has been building new cabinets for our kitchen, with the help of Brant, his brother. I knew at some point we would have to tear the old one's out, but I had no idea how big of a job it would be. We started last night after we got the girls in bed at about eight and worked until two in the morning! Once we got going we couldn't stop because it was such an enormous mess! Wow. We tore out the cabinets, along with several layers of other stuff. All I know is those plaster walls sure make a HUGE mess. We also pulled up the lovely carpet we had in the kitchen too -- I really don't want to know how long it has been there. I'm not sad at all to see that go. It will be wonderful when we get it all put back together, hopefully sooner than later. But I do know that these projects sometimes take longer than you think. So I am off to Oregon with the girls for a week, in hopes that I can walk into a brand new kitchen when I come home!! Yay! I can't wait, can you tell? Stay tuned for some before and after pics shortly! Here's a few pictures for your enjoyment . . . it was not fun.

Just getting started

Bottom cabinets out, on to the top . . .

Don't think Nick did it all just because he's the only one in the pics, I was covered in plaster too!

Getting the last bit of plaster stuff off . . . then it was on to clean up! Kelly, I'm sure that you can appreciate this post.
