More Kitchen Demolition

I finished shimming and leveling the floor, then realized that in order to properly install the subfloor, I'd have to pull up the floor in the kitchen.  This is so that I can install a subfloor panel in front of the refrigerator, which is required to stagger the pieces.  So, I decided to go ahead and cut the South section of the cabinets out and move them.  I'd been meaning to do this for a while, but there wasn't much point until it was needed.

Here is the before picture:

And after.  Here I've put an extra piece of drywall over the span so that I can visualize the size and utility better:



The pictures don't quite convey the scale fully, it's a pretty big kitchen.  Also, after looking at the space available, it looks like I'll have room on the South side (at the rear door) to do a 2nd bar area with stools.  In effect making a breakfast bar.

Now I'll need to tear up the rest of the visible subfloor and install the new 3/4" plywood subfloor.  I'm using plywood rather than particle board as I want to reduce the risk of it swelling should it get wet.

Listening Room Paint

First coat of paint on in the basement listening room.  Shows the potential, but it will definitely need a 2nd coat: Electronics room too: Next comes trim and covering the ceiling. A pretty big improvement considering it looked like this when I moved in: And until recently it looked like this:
