Four
 years ago, we remodeled the kitchen. First step was to call the 
contractor who had done some previous work for us. He made some 
recommendations . We selected cabinets, signed
 the contract, and work began. We cleared the kitchen of pots, pans, 
food, dishes, table and chairs  all of which went to spare bedroom and 
other parts of the house.
 The old cupboard is bare
 The crew then went to work  moving appliances and stripping the room bare.
On one wall some mold was found and the hazmat folks were called. Turns out the stuff was dead and not dangerous.
A few more weeks and new cabnets were in place along with appliances;
  
 a new microwave; the old kitchen table;
and the new cupboard was restocked.
