We’re making slow progress. I’m tearing a little out at a time so I can fill our 64 gallon garbage bin to the hilt every week, thereby minimizing the weight I wind up trucking to the dump and paying (by the pound) to get rid of. I hope.
The last trip to the transfer station was 741 pounds, a lot of which was tile. Hopefully, I can keep the next trip under a ton.
The soffits are exposed, so now I see additional problems I have to solve before I close everything up again. The kitchen is still somewhat functional, but I am right on the cusp of pulling the trigger for the complete tearout. All I have to do is line up a plumber (the new range needs gas) and an electrician (the new oven needs 220) – then the rest is up to me!
