Explanation and update: We had to stop our kitchen renovation after demolition until we acquired the permits needed to renovate a kitchen so that is one of the reasons we haven’t had updates on what is going on. It’s been a waiting game to be able to move forward. 😩
ALSO we trusted a contractors word when they told us the wall we wanted to knock down was load bearing and required a support beam across to support and be up to code. (Thousands of dollars to do but we went forward with contracting because we believe this will be game changer for the layout of the house) While waiting for the work on their end to start our gut told us to get a structural engineer in to take a look at the wall, get a second opion. Turns out the wall is not load bearing and that is something we can do ourselves within our permit approval. We almost lost thousands of dollars and work to get something done that was unnecessary to do. This project has not been easy and after all the things that have gone wrong it’s easy to be discouraged and feel like giving up but we are not going to let the setback hold us back. We are now able to knock wall down, open up the kitchen, and resume renovations! I just hope it’s smooth sailing from here 🤞🏼
