WARNING!

the leak in dave's kitchen has been traced back to mum's kitchen sink (or old pipes behind the sink). hoping it was a quick and simple fix cody and i removed the cupboards only to find a little more then we could handle (water damaged kitchens cupboards, studs, floor joists and flooring).
our wonderful builder agreed to help with the repair (since his guys are already there) and the insurance company is getting someone to remove the flooring.
here are come pictures of what has been going on.

the old closet (pantry) ripped out... making way for the new kitchen
the back way all ripped out

today when i arrived at mum's they were already setting up

the worker guys have to shower right away after they leave the kitchen.
ripping up the floors
working away, they found 3 layers of flooring and plywood!
the workers were so loud with all their big tools and fans, that we all had to wear these fancy ear plugs (like tinkers is wearing)
