Great kitchen remodel of 2011: Cabinet removal

Next on the kitchen remodel, the cabinets were removed! Hooray! Darren posted an ad on Craigslist saying they were free if someone wanted to remove them. He received about 10 offers! Apparently free cabinets are all the rage. Saturday morning at about 9:15, two gentlemen showed up to take the cabinets away. Farewell cabinets! Here are some pictures after they are gone.

This is a picture taken from about where the cabinets used to be, looking at the dining room. Not much changed here, but it will!
This is taken from about where the old cabinets by the fridge were.
This is taken from the back door. That's Darren sweeping up the gross that was under the cabinets. He's a good Darren.

This is taken from the front door area. Look how much space that opened up!

Does everyone remember the great mouse battle of 2010? Do you see that hole along the baseboard to the right? That's where the little vermin were getting in!

And just for fun, here's Eddie checking out the new discovered mouse hole. Don't worry though. Even though it looks like he's checking to see if he can attack the mice who may want to invade our home, I assure you the dog is perfectly useless in that respect.

Next: Tile removal!
