Kitchen - Final tearout and Bagster Arrives!

Hannah is off to NYC.  Time to tear out the rest of the old kitchen.



 The oven cabinet is almost gone.  The nice pink tile of the countertops is bedded in a thick layer of mortar - as is the pink tile backsplash.  Very retro, but I don't feel too bad about getting rid of it. 


The tile is almost all gone except for just below the window.   I still have to break out the one inch "concrete board" and the layer of mortar on top of that.  It's not hard to remove at that stage, but it's dusty, gritty, and dirty.


Bagster is here just in time.  Louis didn't mind if we packed up our bag as high as it would go.  Plus, he dragged it out the driveway far enough to lift it with the crane.  Nice operation and Louis was great.  Bagster cost us $30 for the bag and $119 to get it picked up.  In general, not a bad deal and easy to deal with.  Louis told us we could get the bag at Amazon for $24.  Good tip.


Now we have a kitchen with nothing but bare walls and half a floor.  Hmmm.
