The requisite <strong>before<\/strong> photo.<\/i>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nJQS went to his Dad&#8217;s after work, so I took the opportunity of a day home alone to rip out some of my kitchen cabinetry with a power circular saw. Quite satisfying actually. I hate my kitchen.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"cont\">\nThe cabinets were slapped together out of plywood by someone who was not a carpenter, much less a cabinetmaker. None of the doors close tightly and all of the drawers squeak because they are too tight. An odd L-shaped extension slices the room in half and leaves only 18 inches to squeak past the refrigerator. So I lopped off the tip of the L. Now there&#8217;s a nice 36 inch passage between one half of the kitchen and the other.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"cont\">\nOf course, it looks terrible. But I thought it looked terrible before. After ten years I finally decided that it couldn&#8217;t look any worse. That&#8217;s when the power tools come out. No, it doesn&#8217;t look any better now, but at least there&#8217;s more space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Extreme remodelling.
