Later night post after gutting the kitchen
Apr. 8th, 2014 09:56 pmIn a rush, tired, so:
1. Without haggling, I sold the kitchen cabinets for $250. I saw disassembled contractor grade cabinets going for $500 on CL; these were still attached to the wall and covered with mouse poo. You might say I gave a discount to somebody OR someone inexplicably paid me to remove them for free.
2. The man who picked them up came with a latino friend, and between then they disassembled and took away the cabinets in all of 30 minutes. As I helped them load the cabinets in the van, I noticed a fake-disabled-free-parking placard in the rear view mirror. Ew.
3. I found the electric circuit breaker marked "disposal," which did turn off the disposal sure, but it also turned off the other disposal, lights in the back room, and lights in the utility room. More evidence the place was put together with duct tape.
4. The water valves in the kitchen did not turn off entirely; one was plastic!? but both drip. They now reside and slowly drip over a bucket...which is also right beside the wires that ran to the garbage disposal.
5. The main water shutoff seems to allow the water to run a little even when off. I turned off the hot water heater (except the pilot, convenient it has options of on-pilot-off) and ran the cold water out in a sink, but after a while the water seemed to pressure up again.
6. Holy mouse shit - mouse poo in the cabinets was nothing compared to behind and underneath them. ICK.
7. The crappy tile floor? Was on top of linoleum tiles, showing more shitastic pig lipstick, but also making it much easier to demolish.
8. The bulkhead in the kitchen is now visible, and yes as Jason predicted it's 100% hollow so I can build whatever I want up to the 9' ceiling. I'm not sure, but it might also have nice old wood even if they are only 2x4s - they look dark. That could just be filth though...
OH YOU WANT ODD!? I'll reward you with this little ditty - next door my neighbors with 2 dogs had gotten one it's summer cut so it was clean and well groomed. For the first time I saw the dogs playing, only...the dirty long haired one kept humping. Not only did it hump, but it typically humped backwards. While the other dog was upside down. That's to say, like a bonobos ape it was all but mouth fucking it's doggy pal - but doncha worry! Doggie pal also took turns humping, if in different positions. I had to stare...I mean I've seem some humping dogs in my day, but this was really the most bonobos canine action I've ever seen. SO MAYBE I'LL FIT IN AFTER ALL.
I will have to go there tomorrow to check on my dripping exposed pipes and associated mess.
