So we have finally decided how to layout the kitchen. After many agonizing hours my husband suggested we totally move it over to the garage wall and rip out the fireplace. Hmmm, rip out a fireplace, is that really what we want to do?
After redesigning it on my app I could see that yes!! That is the best way to go for this space. So we commenced fireplace removal immediately!
Here is the area about to be transformed with a sledge hammer!! :)
Of course by the time I had a minute to take a photo he had already removed the mantel and had the first brick off..
We Started at about 8am and by noon we had a lovely hole! Below is a before and after picture. So thankful my man cleans up after himself and the kids did a fantastic job hauling all the bricks out to the back of the truck.
Up next, we put in the new door to the garage.
ONE TIP FOR RENOVATING!
Use what or who you have on hand to make messy jobs easier. For example, by breaking the fireplace up, the kids could easily help us transport all the pieces out to the truck to be hauled away :)
