Kitchen blues

Didn’t get squat done today (not from general laziness, as is all too often the case, but for other unrelated reasons). I tried getting some tiles off, but I only hacked big holes in the drywall instead. Also, I think I made a big mistake in trying to alleviate the mismatched floor level between the kitchen and the dining area. I think we need to remove a strip of the floor along the former wall; but this will mean we have to get a huge lintel to cover the gap.

Also, the new floor isn’t very durable. Some dropped plates have put blemishes in the finish. And there’s no way I’m ripping out the cabinets to replace the damaged planks…

All in all, not a good end to the weekend. And tomorrow is work day. Whoop-de-doo.

But I think I can handle the tiles with a better chisel and better technique. New chance next weekend.
