Day 1: Before and After

This morning I walked into an almost empty house with a faint echo. It's time to take the last pictures before demolition. Thanks for the good and bad memories in the last 13+ years. The remodeling is finally going to happen after more than a year of planning.

Day 1

Demolition started at 10:10 am, July 3, 2012.
By 2:30 in the afternoon the first problem surfaced. When the kitchen cabinets were removed, we saw that one supporting post had been sawed to put in an electric socket!!!
This is a picture of Peter Fu, the contractor, pointing to the unbelievable action by the previous contractor.

It only took them less than 3 hours to remove the whole kitchen and the wall that separated the kitchen from the living room!

The wall of cabinets that used to face the hallway. You can still see the "curved" wall at this point, but not for long.
