" And the objective indication as to restore it to the 1920s appearance that means that although there are few elements from the 1920s like the door casing these little paneled doors and obviously something like this built in ironing board the majority of the cabinets that are that are here were added probably in the late forty's or in the fifties and did their frankly. Not worth keeping especially if you're trying to restore the kitchen tonight and 18 floor. These are just plywood paneled cabinets and why are they give you ahead are great trying to save that that molding up next aspect and this is something from the period ending nearly. Thirties or forties and now we're going to try to salvage business and as we can okay. Well the rest of it we can be rough regret this is chair out there. So they're being rot and the cool to have control fire. Great work I'm taking something apart. You know as an antique door they're trying to save the screws and you're being very careful but it is just old plywood big -- and you can. Rock without. And it's often not. What we call them up cabinet box they would probably built in play. And took me to -- coming hard and pieces. Possible original color. This green. And very likely to be. The original color that was in the in the kitchen. All right. Now the next the next part of the demolition job involves. A lower cabinet -- and ceramic tile on the compound that's going to be a little bit. We'll bit bigger job. OK now according you've already disconnected the water right yes we did that. This is again -- in 1950s maybe in late forties installation and I'm sure it's gonna be erupted again that because you can see where we. Not a little bit off that it's real mud job McGwire laughed and one thing that we always should do when we're doing this kind of demolition -- wear gloves. But -- They wanted the whole thing out run the whole thing -- got a job Brian was gonna look like them placement. So we'll have on the left inside they're gonna put in slim line dishwasher that appear paneled doors and three simple big drawers. That'll be appropriate. -- it actually it's OK. And it. Well you know thing. For awhile with the corrosion. And that would -- in no time line yeah yeah. And OK I was there are all right I do recommend -- when you're working with ceramic tile demolition. Because it's vitreous and it can harm -- hey you know take these out -- And these are again these give you an idea what we're dealing with here nothing special quarters of those boxes the drawers are just nailed together. And there's really nothing much to stay here. Stick built. Finally -- bring it up yeah. On the other foot mad that carpenter just couldn't some boards from front to back them one by six's that we've got tar paper. Moisture barrier then we got metal -- right there you see it and then about two inches -- mortar on top of that then the ceramic tile. This kind of installation is really -- but what happened that that the -- deteriorates. For a gets out of fashion. And that's where we're remodel. -- What the heavy cast iron thing yeah. Yeah right yeah. Itself could be -- her founder. They try to they can't get it. Our activity -- it. -- yeah. That's -- document could visit from my door the wall. OK good. This had really dumpster ground."
