Amidst our searching for a supplier for the new kitchen, that both meets our sustainable ethos and is within our (slightly elastic) budget, we took time out to rip out most of the old kitchen cupboards yesterday.
The old units are handbuilt and it will be a shame to throw them away - there's scope to reuse some of them in the new utility room and try and sell the remainder. So we tried our best not to damage them whilst taking them out, which proved a challenge as they'd been plastered into the walls in places. Overall we were sucessful with damage to just one of the corner wall units.
As with so many jobs at Hillside, legacies from the previous owner come to light and the removal of the kitchen was no exception. Dodgy wiring, accumulated grime begind the cooker and signs of the old decor are to be expected when removing a kitchen, but yet another Hillside skeleton was a rather unpleasant suprise. This time one of what looks like a mid sized rodent...not that I got too close to inspect it.
Can't wait to get the house well and truly gutted so that we know there are no more suprises lurking anywhere.
