go demo this kitchen let's go i'm just waiting for the comments to be like you're breaking counter top you're breaking granite oh i think everybody breaking it here so a long time ago i worked with my father-in-law in uh he has a granite company and we installed granite countertops i did it maybe for like a year and i remember that we would never glue it down to boards we would only do like a bead around the perimeter so that if you ever want to take it off you just take a blade cut it around and pop it off and sometimes even salvage it but no not here liquid nailed nice when it concrete's this thick this is a thing called 2cm 2 centimeters um they have to reinforce it so they'll create a little channel put this little steel rod in there and then pour epoxy to uh strengthen it so it doesn't crack as you're installing it a flathead screwdriver he's a scraper i swear i've demoed more stuff and unscrewed more stuff with a scraper than actually going getting a flat hair yeah like what do i have in my pocket this is gonna go to the grave with me dude this has to be the most like universally i love scrape like little putty knives oh man yeah [Music] oh there you go come on [Music] go to church [Music] oh no oh i guess we gotta redo the kitchen [Music] oh [Music] so the trick about not breaking cabinets um if you're asking what is the right and wrong way of doing demo day well not being care you know careful about what you're going to salvage so if you're going to use a stiff um scraper like this and a pry bar you don't want to be shoving it right here because this is a weak point there's flex and it'll crack you want to do is use these what do you call them ribs ribs yeah right nice one yeah and what you do is you you jam it right in between the top and the bottom here you got your structure structure yep and it's dispersing the weight and then stick your pry bar in there and then that's where you're gonna break it off if you do it here you will crack this and you'll have to build the cabinets [Music] oh hi did we wake you up sorry we're being loud but you look nice yeah because we have to lift it up like that this regardless the bottom row has to go so smash smash i say we smash because it's going to be easier to just put a sheet of drywall up but in order for us to pop this sucker off we got to get rid of this line here this backsplash is holding it down in place we got to lift the sucker up we got to make it a little bit messy before we make it gonna whip…
