Finishing the Floor 11/18

When we removed the cabinets a couple of weeks ago, we decided that the corner cabinet was going to be too difficult to remove. We thought that we would use the existing floor, and just cut the new floor around the older section. This continued to be our decision until sometime Saturday evening.

I met a friend (JSE) at the cottage on Saturday evening, and we started removing the drywall on the common wall between the kitchen and the bathroom. We also removed the drywall on the kitchen cabinet wall. This was a fairly simple process until we reached the corner cabinet. We stopped to figure out how to cut the drywall so the piece behing the cabinet would match the new sheets that we will hang in the Spring. The easiest and best solution was to go ahead and remove the cabinet.

Once the cabinet was out, I discovered the floor beneath was in terrible condition and had to be replaced. By this time, I have honed my flooring skill, and the job was completed in no time. It helped that the hole was only 24" x 24". With the final nail in the final floor board, the floor is officially complete. Well... at least until CMV decides it is time to lay down the tile.
