2 more days of work until vacation officially starts.
Took out more of the old cabinets last night, discovered not all of the floor was tiled before cabinets went in, have to add tile to the bare spots so new cabinets (and appliances) will be level.
Freshly removed cabinets were not stud checked with a hammer, they were stud checked with a drill. There are tons of tiny drill holes on the wall looking for the studs.
We also had this really terrible corner cabinet on the ground that had a really tiny door so you really couldn't reach all the way into it. Turns out it didn't actually even go all the way to the wall, there's a little chamber of secrets back there. Full of webs and dust and apparently whomever lived here before had a fridge leak or some kind of flood so a lot of damage from that.
Despite this & the hellscape that has been work this week - I have not bought anything for the tank. I'm sure it's feeling neglected.
