Amateur demolishing

We can't afford our kitchen remodel right now for our new home.  The kitchen is original 1950's.  Yuck.  The built in oven does not operate.  We bought a new range oven for our remodel but now everything is on hold.  So we decided to demolish the cabinets around the broken oven and remove it.  We then will just put our new range there so it can be used while we wait for our remodel.  

 

With that said, I'm nervous as we are not DIYers.  We know it will look ugly but at least it will be functional.  My biggest concern is the gas line.  Any tips in cabinet demo especially making sure the gas line is ok?

Re: Amateur demolishing

  • Spend the money to have a plumber disconnect and reconnect the gas line. You don't want that effed up!
  • You are going to not reuse the cabinets are you?  If so just cut a section out of the cabinet back/side/bottom wherever the line is going through the cabinet.  Then remove the cabinet.  All of this should be done when the gas is turned off and the old stove is removed and the lines capped of course.

    Pew should be able to shut he gas right at the stove, right?  I assume there will be a shut off valve there?  And do be have to cap it off even though we will plug in the new stove right away? 

  • Who is Pew?

    Should there be a shut off there?  Yes.

    Is there?  I have no idea you tell me.  If there isn't one there you should hire a plumber to come install one. 

    Cap = stop the flow of gas.  If you have shut off valves nothing else will need to be done.
