Today FT and I removed the kitchen cabinet, a bunch of plaster, and flooring from the kitchen. OMG, was that a lot of work. There were 7 contractor bags of plaster and six layers of old flooring (seven if you count the 1/4″ particle board):
- the original linoleum
- another colourful lino on that
- bright red tiles
- a layer of 1/4″ particle board
- more lino of yellow & brown
- click-together wood laminate
A before and after comparison:
There were little nails holding down the particle board for the final linoleum layer. It seems I pulled out about 300 of them, and we’re only half-way done the room.
