In the Beginning....

It started the way every normal renovation starts.

I needed a new floor.  The floor in my townhouse kitchen was a lower end laminate that had, sometime before I moved in, gotten wet and buckled a bit.  So I wanted it repaired....

But....

It would have to be torn out and re-laid and, truth be told, I didn't really like it. 
So I needed a new floor. 

If I was going to do the entire floor, I knew I wanted to extend it into the laundry (currently carpeting and original (1984) linoleum) and bath (1984 vintage linoleum)

And then there were the countertops.  Original to the house, they had bowed where the dishwasher was.  Obviously, I needed new ones. 

Then, if I were going to do the countertops and floors, maybe I should take the two walls down that separate the kitchen from the living room......

If I'm going to do that, then I'll lose the upper cabinets on those walls so ... maybe I should get new cabinets that go to the ceiling.....

If I get new cabinets on the top, the bottom ones will need to match.

Turns out that matching bit is expensive.... So I'm getting it all.

New floors
New cabinets
New counter tops
New bathroom fixtures
New dishwasher
New access to the dining room.

And today, it started.
