Demo day

From dawn to mid-afternoon, yesterday was big demolition time at our kitchen. We started early by staging the event and by 8:45 am, our neighbors Frank and Marianne Traczyk came to our rescue armed with their own tools of all shapes and forms, provided the ear muffs we didn’t even have, and brought their permanent smile and sharp sense of humor. We tore down cabinets, broke countless granite tiles and did all of that at great speed and without significant problem or damage. The Traczyks took everything to their home where our kitchen will get a second lease in life in the same neighborhood and a similar house. We only left the sink cabinet with its multiple accessories and connections to be taken apart by a plumber next week before it can rejoin its siblings one block away. We couldn’t have done as well and as fast without Frank and Marianne. Heartfelt thanks to both of them!
