Demolition:
For old kitchen to make way for new kitchen, the cabinets constructed have to be torn out one by one.
For supporting the ceiling, temporary braces like laminated wood beam is installed to hold the load, while the wall between den and living room is removed.
Remaining demolition work are moving vent pipe for the new stove hood, replacing the old light positions, and cutting way in concrete slab for wiring in Center Island.
Cabinets:
The new cabinets are installed once the drywall is finished and hung. The trim work and crown molding are completed for painting.
Countertops:
The next installation is granite countertops. The seam in countertops is glued together by epoxy glue and a vacuum powered seam puller is used to hold together till the glue is set. To cover the gap between the hanging cabinets and countertops, a tile backsplash is used.
