While my small kitchen has worked for many years, it’s time for a change. And so begins the Helios Kitchen Renovation Project.

We’re making it as green as possible. The sink and cabinets are original and still in fine shape; Community Forklift will take what might be re-used in another home. The trim and door frames will be saved to use here in the new kitchen and for a new closet. No real use for old bits of plaster so that will go to the dump, er, trash transfer station.

Here’s the before:

Hey, thanks so much for mentioning us!!! We really appreciate the publicity – most folks have no idea that they can donate old building materials as easily as they can donate old couches or clothing.

I look forward to seeing how your new kitchen turns out
