I tried unscrewing them, but that didn&#8217;t work. It was easier to pull them off with the crowbar. With the cabinet doors off, I was able to assess the contents, pack away what we wanted but rarely used, and throw out the rest.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Saturday December 17, 2005<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/wordsintobytes\/old-house\/kitchen-remodel\/let-me-level-with-you\">Remove the peninsula.<\/a> I begin with the cabinet doors and then am able to get off most of the other wood. The tile counters are a challenge because they are set into two inches of concrete.<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<h4>Friday December 30, 2005<\/h4>\n<p>\nRemove the shelves of the L-cabinet. It&#8217;s a good thing that AJM wasn&#8217;t here to see me, because I had to use the circular saw to cut through them.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Saturday December 31, 2005<\/h4>\n<p>\nWe bought more Metro shelving from the Container Store and some Elfa drawers. We put the Metro shelving on wheels so that we can put the appliances and dishes we need and wheel the out of the way while we&#8217;re working on different parts of the project.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"reply\">Note: 2008-01-22. This was one of the smartest things we did during the entire project.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Monday January 2, 2006<\/h4>\n<p>\nAJM got into the swing of things and began ripping up the flooring. Before I bought this house in 1993, we had vinyl tiles installed over the old linoleum. I was surprised when the tilers didn&#8217;t take up the old floor, but they assured me that it wasn&#8217;t worth the effort and that it provided a flat surface for laying new tile.\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"centered\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/wordsintobytes\/photos\/kitchen6.jpg\" alt=\"photo: kitchen remodel\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nThe linoleum had been laid over 1\/4 inch fiberboard and that laid on top of the pine subfloor. That&#8217;s the layer that we wanted to strip down to.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"cont\">\nIn the 1940s, when this house was built, they used pine planking rather than plywood sheathing for the subfloor. I confirmed, what I&#8217;ve long suspected, that the wood floors in the rest of the house are indeed this original subfloor.\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"centered\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/wordsintobytes\/photos\/kitchen5.jpg\" alt=\"photo: kitchen remodel\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nI put the new shelf onto the tall Metro unit and rearranged everything, after taking everything down, tearing up the floor, and then moving the unit back. I do appreciate our new unit on wheels!\n<\/p>\n<h4>Monday January 9, 2006<\/h4>\n<p>\nI remove the last of the vinyl and linoleum flooring. I also pry off a chunk of the base cabinet that forms the L.\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"centered\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/wordsintobytes\/photos\/kitchen4.jpg\" alt=\"photo: kitchen remodel\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\nWhen less is more.
