Kitchen Destruction

The prep for new countertops is surprisingly extensive. Removing the stuff around the cooktop necessitated quite a bit of destruction as well.

The new counter will all be at one height, unlike the two-tier bar vibe we had before. We had to buy these metal brackets to support the weight of the granite. Expensive for a few pieces of metal. I guess they figure if you can afford granite...

Note in the background how the whole insert around the fridge had to be removed, which also meant the wine rack had to go.
