certifiably crazy

If ripping up 3 layers of flooring wasn't crazy enough, we've also decided to pull out a large custom built cabinet that has been in the house since (as a tag behind it said) 1988. The cabinet was kind of nice but it was in less than great condition. More importantly, it cut out a huge amount of the floor space in the dining room that we (and hopefully prospective buyers) want back.

Of course, it's This Damn House, so no project is as easy as you'd think. But...now I fear we may have bitten off more than we have time to chew.

Beind the cabinet there's 1/2 of a sort of false wall.  The cord you see goes to a light switch installed in the side (outside) of the cabinet which controls the dining room light.  It looks like the easiest way to fix this up is to frame and hang the rest of
the wall.  Maybe.

Below the cabinet is the supporting 2x4s nailed to the floor.  The hard part here is that the lateral 2x4s extend the full length of the cabinets, including under ones we are keeping.  So somehow we have to cut them in place and pull them up.  how the heck we gonna do that?!

And of course there's misc. aesthetic issues, like needing base trim around the new wall and existing cabinets.

It's not a pretty situation for sure.  :-\

Well, that's one good reason not to rip into things... you never know what is behind them. :) Good luck though, it looks like it will be much nicer with the cabinets gone.

It'd be great if we could see what was under or behind things before taking them out!
