Final Touches Before Cabinets

Tomorrow the cabinets are getting installed.  They have all been sitting in my garage waiting for this moment.  Tonight, Mom put some finishing touches with primer and we cleared everything out of the room for the cabinet guys.

Remove Drop Ceiling Framing

Finally we are in the home stretch of removing the awful drop ceiling.  Mom worked hard removing the framing and I helped as much as I could in my leg brace.  Notice the timestamps on the before and after.   This took us 3 hours.  Not too bad.

Notice the very bad wiring job that was up there.  We are going to fix that for sure!

Remove Kitchen Drop Ceiling Day 2

Today Aloha Air is rerouting our AC from the drop ceiling hard vent into flex tubing in the attic.  This is a big job but will make our AC much more efficient.  We also had a new thermostat and return register installed.

Then Mom and I continued the demolition of the drop ceiling.

Next we need to remove the light box, reroute the plumbing and electric and then drywall the new ceiling.
