At some point in the history of this house, someone decided to put in a small kitchenette in the basement -- likely to complement the games room next to it. There was a spot for a fridge and a microwave, as well as a small, ugly sink. Not only was the sink small, it was mounted in a counter that was very short (think 2 feet of the ground). The ugly sink was surrounded by poorly-laid tile. The oddly-conceived cabinets had no doors, but some sort of blinds instead. It was all very odd.So we tore it out.
Here's a shot of Mr. S, my brother-in-law and general handyman. Just before this photograph was taken, he had his head all the way into the that gap in the ceiling. He was looking for a wire.
We're going to rebuild the kitchenette in a form very similar to the original, but on a scale fit for full-sized humans. Watch this space for construction updates.

Nice work on the bar. You better be careful though because you may have destroyed the watering hole for the Oompa-Loompas that live under your stairs.
Cher and I are about to begin the work on our new place. There's something about aquamarine carpet and old cat hair that doesn't really work for us, so the carpet is coming out. But if the carpet is going you might as well redo the baseboards, and if the baseboards go you might as well redo the cornices, and then there's the ceiling that we are going to rip down and redo entirely.
So if your in the neighborhood and you wanna......
I hope you got a permit for that! I just called into a radio show in Montreal yesterday concerning irate neighbours snitching on people who have done jobs without permits. I have experience in this field lately.
I suppose you could always have all of your house guests sign a waiver when they come in that says they can come in if they don't snitch on any of your non-city permitted projects. Ha
