so i said in another post that ‘erin did all of this’

and these photos are of that fateful june 25th.

the thing about the kitchen is that is that it was

rather small, even for a galley kitchen.

so we must ‘create some space’.

naturally you run into a few less-than-savory

elements in the kitchen… but hopefully all you

suffer is a damaged pallate, not infectious amoebic dysentery.

here’s what we found:

stove removal

love that little pile to the right.

mmmm…pet foooood…aggghhh.

and i’m surprised the joint didn’t burn

to the ground 20 years ago.

how BOUT that ‘lectric wahhring!?

and, (last lament) of course,

poor froggy.

and i swear that when we walked this place

before we bought it, this scene played out.

e- ’say, why is there a big piece of blue cabinet-top

for the sink cabinet floor?’

seller- ‘we put that there.’

e- ‘has there been a leak or any water damage?’

seller- ‘OH nO! we just put it there, it’s fine’

e- (dubious) ‘ohhh kay.’

well here’s what we found when we removed

the sink and the cabinet top underneath:

under the ’sink’

under the ’sink’ 2

and it kept ‘getting funnier and funnier EVERY time i see it!’

what lies beneath

by the dishwash

behind the dishwash

that ‘piece of wood’ sitting atop the dishwasher

is the bottom of the side panel to the sink cab.

so after yanking the dishwasher out, we found

this on the far wall of the kitchen.

the nast

but the sucker did come clean

clean kitchen

and there was much rejoicing

‘clean’ kitchen!

of course, the pesky laws of thermodynamics

dicatate that it all has to go somewhere, it can’t

just vaporize. (dang!) so that left us with

the aftermath

and to quote Dr. Ian Malcom:

‘now that is one big pile of sh!t.’

and we left that night with a bit of

debris lying about…
