Kitchen / utillty

[diybri]

Here i go- never done a kitchen before so im going to let everyone enjoy my ups and downs along the way.
i,m moving the kitchen into the dinning room with a utillity room going into old kitchen.
I,m also need to move the connecting door so I will be knocking down walls as well as knocking down part of a wall to give better access into the new kitchen from the hall.

Yes I have drawings approved by BC

check the walls to see if they are supporting before knocking anything or it might be more than a wall coming down good luck !
