Demo the old kitchen

Saturday we demolished the old kitchen. It went pretty smooth. We had no major problems except to discover that we have more than one flooring. But I guess with old houses that is to be expected. The next step is to call in the plumber to cap and hide the water/drain pipes/gas pipes. This has to be done before we can begin to create it into our office. We plan on doing this in phases, this way we do not have to borrow $$$$. That being said we will keep the upper cabinets to use as storage.



What is this you ask? Is .....it........maybe.........TILE! NO!!!!!!!! I thought it was tile too, however it turns out to be vinyl. Blech!!!
So that means more work when we redo the floors. :(

From the photo, I also thought it was mosaic tile.
Do you plan to peel off both vinyl and tile, and make it into wooden floor, or put another tile?

Anyway, that must be a happy headache.

I think we have to pull off the top vinyl because it is peeling up where the cabinets were. It will depend on how the second layer looks as to where we will either pull it up or tile over it.

We are thinking of using the same tile in as in the kitchen but not too sure.

It is definitely a headache but not too sure how happy I am about it. :)
