Here is... or should I say was, the kitchen. Yeah! It's gone. No smell anymore either. Wait... did I tell you about the smelly moldy cabinets? There were three different leaks under the sink. The bottom cabinets are all open to each other so the musty/moldy smell was in all of them. Tom used our industry favorite, 10% bleach solution to disinfect each piece as it was removed from the house. He also enclosed the room with plastic (thank you Dexter and Holmes on Homes). We just picked out our slab of granite. It only took maybe 2 months of looking at slab yards. We used to go in and look for ones we liked, then after a few times we just started asking the price first.
To be continued.....
This is the kitchen and family room before we moved in. I am looking for the pictures where its empty of the tenant's belongings.
The plastic really kept the smell in, hopefully the mold too.
The source of the water was the leaky kitchen sink, faucet and pipes.
The moldy cabinets were removed first with much care.
This is our beautiful new pony wall for behind the sink.
Our new counter top, Rainforest Green. To me it reminds me of Michelangelo's Sistine chapel. The veins look like the hands reaching to each other.
