Got the kitchen gutted…

Well…not sure why but I started working on the rest of the kitchen stripping this morning and I am done at only 9:13…got the final 4 doors taken down and cleared out the food storage cabinets and now I’m ready to get sanding tomorrow morning after I wash the car and hit depot to get the two new drop cloths I need to cover the stove and make an airlock….I am a little surprised at how easy it was to get the old hardware screws out since they were in there for at least 40 years and were covered in so much paint you couldn’t tell where the screw heads were…but a hammer and my tough screw driver worked well to chip off the paint and clear the screw heads…I think it will take at least two weeks to do the cabinets since they are in such poor condition and are going to need lots of sanding and filling…and I think some of the doors may need to be replaced since they are so chipped and worn but I’ll think about that after I clean them up and paint them…not going to do anything until I get them done and re-hung and see how they look…can probably live with the wear since I don’t want to make this place perfect for the next owners…it will be enough just to have them cleaned and painted….but now, I’m taking the rest of the day off to just veg and enjoy the day….
