In case you forgot a few weeks back you helped me decide what granite to use on my new countertops. In case you missed it I choose CANELLE. So far I have started to remove the drawers, take everything out from underneath the cabinets (just a couple so far). I went to Home Depot and purchased some packing boxes, already have four sitting in my dining room. All myl cabinets are finished and if I do say so for being 50 years old look pretty good. I removed all the hardware, cleaned it and will reuse it.

Today I started to remove the countertrops. OMG I am already beginning to think maybe I made the wrong decision. I banged, no movement. So I thought well I don't see any screws, it must be really good 50 year old glue. Maybe I'll take the formica off and see where I need to cut.

Back to the computer to make sure I understood all the directions. Here are some pictures of what I have done so far.

Sample: Canelle Oak Cabinets

Removed some of the 50 year old formica so I could figure out how to get the countertops off

They say on DYI you can do it. Yes I can! Can you see my new rubber mallet and heavy duty hammer.

Tomorrow I will get the courage to remove the stove top and work on the next section. Anything has to be better then that "old yellow" formica.

They said I have about 21 days before delivery; hope I have all the countertops removed by that time. Looks like Carl is going to have to eat allot of cold cuts for awhile.
