    Kitchen Remodel

    So I had been looking at some options for remodeling the kitchen. Well last week I had a pipe start leaking.

    Filed an insurance claim and now we on to a complete remodel.

    Ripping everything out to the studs, replacing the electrical(House was built in 1970) and then putting back everything new.

      Here is after the water leak. We had the hot water pipe(old galvanized pipe) get a pinhole leak.

        The only thing I ever hated about remodeling was that old insulation.....

            Wife wanted to take down wall paper in kitchen a few years ago and paint walls. No problem, couple of weekends and we're there.... Long story short... we ended up with nothing but studs showing, raising the ceiling, new floors, new cabinets, granite counter tops, and 10K of new appliances. But I will say the pain and time was worth it (I think) we really enjoy the new kitchen. Good luck with yours.

              The water leak has been fixed and the whole kitchen has been rewired!

                If you have everything torn out I would get rid of any galvanized pipe you have in there. If the house has a crawl space I'd replace everything above the floor, including the drain. Now is the time.

                If it is a slab I'd just get rid of any galvanized pipe. Hopefully it's copper under the slab. You definitely don't want copper and galvanized connected directly together.

                              I agree, the only thing worse than fiberglass is that rock wool.....bad stuff.
