Kitchen Demolition

We had a small 3.7 earthquake Friday but that's not what happened to our kitchen. Chris and I smashed up the tile on purpose because we are getting new cabinets this week and we'll re-tile the kitchen to match the living room. I've always liked smashing things up, but it didn't take long to realize removing tile is hard work. We borrowed power tools but in the end, the most effective way to break the tile's grip on the plywood floor was by banging on it with hammers. Our whole house is now a dusty mess but things can only get better from here.
The cabinet removal was a breeze. Chris found someone who wanted the cabinets so they took them down and hauled them away.

Our old cabinets were loaded into a giant moving truck and hauled to their new home in Hilo.

I don't think we'll be having anyone over for dinner this week, our kitchen is a little smashed up.
