The new owners of this Park Slope Co-op wanted the room divider between the living room and kitchen removed.  The kitchen was pretty dark, and why not allow some of that great sunlight from the Living Room to light it up?

And who better to do the carpentry removal than HandymanEric?

My big concern here, well two concerns were: 1. had the wood flooring beneath the shelf-cabinet thing been damaged or removed?   2. what was done to the archway when the shelves were nailed in. Was the top board still there?

We were lucky this time, the floor was in good shape, save for some paint that we removed, and the top board was intact, though it had some nail holes in it.  ( we’ll be painting this apartment next week, we will take care of the plaster repair and drywall repair then. )

As were removing the debris, I walked back into the apartment, and could really see the difference taking the shelves out does. Lots of nice light, and a better feeling of space. The owner loves it as now she can have more than 4 people over for dinner in her kitchen.

We will be doing more work in the Park Slope apartment, running cable TV wire, installing a HDTV mount, and removing more shelving below the bay windows. Stay tuned for more pictures.
