So DH decided he wanted to make a hole in the wall over our cabinets to see if anything was behind there. He didn't see anything, so he (OK, we) pulled all the sheetrock down. His thinking is that we can move the cabinets up, and have more room under the cabinets, on the countertop. I personally would rather have the space up top for storing big things, like crockpots, etc.
Anyway, here's what we found...
I didn't think we'd have to remove more than what we did, but looking at it (see last pic), it looks like we'll have to remove the rest of the wall all the way across to the fridge anyway. So I'm not sure what's next.
Right now, DH is cutting out the bottom piece of wood and the inbetween pieces. He's leaving the top one, because it's the "floor board" in the attic, and I assume stuctural?
If we take the rest of the wall out, over to the fridge, would we just remove the wood, like he's doing, and sheetrock?
Obviously we're amatuers.
