All Sealed Off
Elliot Seals the exits
Take out the appliances
Remove appliances

The Shop-Vac is hiiting on the old cabinet
Out come the original cabinets
Remove the old walls
Remove the old walls

Take it down to the Bare Framing
Always discuss
Even remove a wall

Watch out for the pipes and wires

the countertop fitting - "please fit"
And more countertop
A job well down
Nice place
