Au Revoir Upper Cabinets

This was an easy one! 

Not that difficult!
Chris working on the 2nd cabinet



Screwdrivers were really the only tools we needed to get these upper cabinets off the second floor kitchen walls.

I love when things go smoothly!

After - no more cabinet!
We also had our first fail....a stripped screw in just the wrong place made this greasy shelf impossible to take down on the first try.
1st DIY fail - the stripped screw really screwed us

Good thing I have some of the world's greatest friends who are willing to help me with my crazy DIY renovation projects! Thanks to Laura we got that nasty shelf off the wall & into the garbage (where it belonged!). It involved a hacksaw blade & some brute force....I wouldn't recommend our method!
After- no more cabinet & no more greasy shelf! Thanks Laura!
Also, thanks to our friend Mark, we now know our sweet exhaust fan in the 2nd floor kitchen is fully functional! All it took was pulling the chain (which we hadn't done :) Nice to know it works, particularly given the stubborn smell of natural gas in the 2nd floor kitchen. Airflow is good if there might be a gas leak. Next on the list, call the gas company........
