Electrical & Plumbing Disconnection & Labeling

What happens here

Before any cutting or rerouting, ensure the main power supply to the kitchen is shut off at the breaker. Carefully disconnect the electrical wiring from existing outlets and switches. Use masking tape and a permanent marker to clearly label each wire bundle with its function (e.g., 'Dishwasher,' 'Disposal,' 'Power In,' 'Plug'). This systematic labeling is crucial for correct and safe reinstallation later. Similarly, for plumbing, ensure the main water supply is shut off. Disconnect existing pipes, ensuring any residual water is drained. Label the pipes as 'Hot Water,' 'Cold Water,' 'Drain,' and 'Vent' as appropriate. These labeled wires and pipes can then be temporarily secured out of the way, ready for either full removal or rerouting to their new locations.

Goal: Safely disconnect and label existing electrical wiring and plumbing lines, ensuring proper identification for future reinstallation or rerouting.
