So, I had the bright idea of remodeling my kitchen. We live in a condo, and I have to say that the old kitchen was just icky-nasty. Nasty ass old cabinets that have been repainted twice...and ugly laminate flooring. So, we go and get new cabinets and rip the old ones out. We somehow got a cabinet that is the wrong size. I checked and double checked my measurements. All fine there...remeasured all of the cabinets and the one corner cabinet is 10" too big. Look over the plans of the kitchen from the store's computer. How nice, the kitchen isn't big enough for this type of cabinet, so the computer figured it'd just make the kitchen bigger to fit it.
So, we take it back and after some hassles, got the right cabinets. Now, time to rip up the floor. BASTARDS. There are 3 layers of fucking vinyl tile under the old laminate flooring. Grrrrrrr...of course, they stop where the cabinets were.We rip the laminate out in the main hallway to find...yes, cemented old ass 70's brown ceramic tile. Lovely. Now, we just got done ripping up the 3 layers of vinyl...and I'm taking a break before I go get my goggles on and start chiseling away at the ceramic tile.
Not only that, but the walls are so fucking uneven, the cabinets aren't straight. So, off to the hardware store to buy some wood to even everything out.
*sigh* I'm exhausted...and I will never do this again.
Well, that's not true. I have to rip up the old carpet throughout the rest of the place and prep it for new flooring.
Off to the back-breaking labor of making this place look nice.![]()
