Demolition: Kitchen cabinet

There was a standalone lower kitchen cabinet beside the stove in our kitchen. You can see it in this photo, close to the center of the picture:

As we were laying flooring, we decided it'd be better to remove it and put flooring down instead. It's easy enough to get another cabinet to place there, or instead use that area for a large kitchen cart.

So off it came:

Boom! You can see some flooring boxes at the bottom left, and some of our flooring in the dining room, too.

Removing the cabinet was interesting, because we realized that whoever installed the cabinet did so in an atypical fashion. It was all built in, attached to the paneling, and the countertop tile was set on some concrete that was haphazardly poured into the top. The drawers in the kitchen don't even have sliding hardware, so it was pretty easy to get apart. I popped off all the trim, and we used a reciprocating saw to cut off the top... It wouldn't come off without a fight!

Now, we have a dirty and slightly discolored wall, which is fine, because we're hoping to paint it eventually. Onward!
